Answer 1

This can be configured from within the browser. When you open print options, there is an option asking you whether to print background images. :)

Answer 2

Most browsers have an option to print backgrounds. In FF 3.6.3, under File --> Page Setup --> Print Background (Colors and images)

Answer 3

As you might have noticed from the answers, browsers by default do not print background images. Also, there is no way to coerce all the visitor's browsers into printing the watermark.

A possible way to force the watermark to be printed is to create a div which is positioned under the content with multiple repeats of an IMG tag containing the watermark. This is horribly kludgy.
