I have embedded pngs into an illustrator file with a gray background. The display of the file looks fine. When I print the file the pngs all have a background.

Going to print then 99.5% chance you need to use CMYK (unless Lambda). Png also is lossy quality. Use the .PSD format CMYK, if you want predictable color. PSD will have transparency.

Well, what are the color management settings and the profiles used? You may simply need to convert the profiles/assign new ones.
