background image disappears when printing to PDF

[Ray Bennett]

Well, hot on the trail of this, here's what I've learned.

If I turn the "alwaysbuffer" property off, the image magically appears 
on when PDFd/printed.  (it was also disappearing _any_ time I tried to 
print it from an XP box).

Hmmm...
