No.
If I can ever get back to it, I was working on a background image import feature. It got lost in a harddrive crash, so I have to figure it all out again.
Would not apply, You can only primt what’s created in the layout screen, which does not show what’s on the draft mode scene. Unless, you export the draft mode scene as a pdf, png, svg, etc, and then print that. In which case a background image would appear in the print, as the export in draft mode is just dumping the whole scene with no way to select which objects to export. Besides why would you want to delete the image layer? What if it doesn’t print correctly and you have to reload (and orient?) the image to make changes to the draft?
You can refer to ths topic where it left off…
