Well, it depends on how much work you want to put into it.

The quickest solution is to print in black and white instead of color. 
Assuming you have a B&W cartridge along with your color cartridge, you
should be able to select to have the entire page printed in black and
white.  You're still wasting ink, but it's cheaper ink.

For a better but more time consuming solution, save the webpage to disk,
remove the background reference, and load the local copy into your
browser.  Then print from there.
