For IE5+ you can do it the easy way:

<BODY style="background-image:url(yourimage.jpg)"
onBeforePrint="document.body.style.backgroundImage=''"
onAfterPrint="document.body.style.backgroundImage='yourimage.jpg'">

While those other ideas are interesting, the CSS way of doing it is covered here (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html) . Basically it's done by specifying different style sheets for different media.
