Unfortunately an environment file wasn't designed to do what you want it to.
An ENV file is transmitted just once, BEFORE any of your application's
output, and it was designed primarily only to set your page size,
orientation, default font selection, etc., all of the things that go to
specify how the page is to be printed.

Once the ENV file has been transmitted, your specific output then follows.
Ordinarily, that's where you would put your text and graphics commands, not
in the ENV file, as you have done. While that's a clever use of the ENV
file's capability, it's unfortunately a one-shot transmission to the printer,
and that's the reason you're only seeing one copy of the graphic.

If you have no capacity to modify your application's behavior, you are
condemned to printing one page at a time, if you want the ENV file's graphic
on every page.
