print CSS still showing some background images when printing

Question

I am receiving some strange begaviour in IE6 when printing a page.

For some reason it is printing out parts of a CSS background image sprite.

I have overridden all background-image declarations with:

* {background-image:none !important;}

But to no avail. I didn't think background images were supported by default anyways so this is a new one on me.

It doesn't work in IE6 because it doesn't support the * identifier. You will have to override the background for every element seperately.
