[gradsusr] Error on printim with bgImage

[Jennifer Adams]

I have added a note about this feature in the documentation pages for printim and gxprint. That was much faster than fixing the code. :-)

I'm only able to generate a map with a bgImage when I use one of the other maps I've created with GrADS. In that case the command printim returns no issues.
