Printing website - cookies

Hi All,

I didn't find any related posts in newsgroup history; if I should have
searched better, feel free to correct me.

There's this problem in IE6 (don't know about other IE's, so know the
problem doesn't occur in Mozilla) that feels to me as a bug - I'm curious
about anyone having experienced this too:

I master a website for an elementary school, and the only way for visitors
to access all content is by having a cookie set (not important how one gets
that cookie).
At the request of any "private" article or image, the website checks the
availability of the cookie - if it fails the visitor gets either a default
error-article or a default error-image.

Now this all works fine. Until you try to print an article containing
images.
All "private" images in the article turn out, on paper, as the default
error-image.
As if IE chooses to retrieve the images in the article *again* right before
printing - although it already has them in cache - and forgets to add the
cookie-information to that request.

I can't find any other explanation. The problem is easily reconstructable
here, all parents using IE6 have the same problem.
Does anyone here have a clue? Is it a known bug? Will IE7 send cookies whie
printing or reuse images from cache?
