[gradsusr] Error on printim with bgImage

[Stephen McMillan]

Glad it worked for you, Miquel.

Jennifer, I noticed that the -b option doesn't like upper-case in file
pathnames, either.  It does not appear to be a problem, however, for the
output path/filename.  Thanks for adding the note in documentation.
