In my experience browser support for CSS print styles is spotty at
best. The properties that are supposed to give you some control over
this are, IIRR, page-break-before and page-break-after. You can try
applying "page-break-before: always;" to your image to give it room to
render, but as I said I've found support rather spotty between
browsers. Take a look at the documentation here:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_print_pageba.asp which I got from a
simple google search on "CSS page-break-before".
Good luck - I haven't had much with these rules, I must admit.
