Sounds like yet another print-bug in Gecko. I can't reproduce that  
issue in Safari (tested: 3.04, 4b and nightly build - 10.5.7 with 2  
different postscript printers ). Opera 10a print-preview doesn't  
repeat the image either.

Note:  I only tried to print-to-pdf, didn't want to damage trees.

I don't see much of a workaround, except , maybe, put the background- 
image in an absolute positioned div behind #mainboxcover, with  
negative z-index. Kind of ugly construction, though.
