When you print a document that contains either Enhanced
Metafile (EMF) or Windows Metafile (WMF) graphics, with semi-transparent or
fully transparent regions, to a Postscript-compatible printer, the transparent
regions print filled and semi-transparent regions may print black or with a
gray box covering the shape.

If possible, use a non-postscript printer driver that is
compatible with the printer being used, or use a different printer that is not
PostSript compatible.
If using a non-Postscript compatible printer
driver is not an option, then the only recourse is to convert the EMF or WMF
graphic into a raster graphic that supports transparencies, such as Portable
Network Graphics (PNG), Tagged Image File Format (TIF), or CompuServe Graphics
Interchange Format 89a (GIF).
