To support IE6 we render PNGs as background images in a div.  Unfortunately
many browsers drop the background image when printing.

You could try using a custom GIF for your markers.  See here for how to use
custom icons:

Here are a couple of icons you could try:

http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/markerff.gif

Failing that, you could use the Static Maps API to make a map that can be
printed in all browsers:

Good luck!
