It looks like this SO answer has your solution, except that you do not need to install xvfb because it's already installed.

I have the same issue. My app runs perfectly and it prints all my pdf pages perfectly with headers locally.

But when I run my app on pythonanywhere, headers on pages (except first page) are not printed.

Are the elements that make up the headers (images etc) available to your code on PythonAnywhere?
