Yes, thats true - transparency is emulated by rendering the affected
portions of the page into a bitmap. Search for 'ReduceTransparency' in
the OOo configuration (Common.xcs), and set that to true.

The underlying reason for this (mis)behaviour is that our bitmap
implementation keeps the Pixmap around, once one's there. And
unfortunately, during printing, at lot of those bitmaps are generated
per page. This is generally fixable, though not particularly easy.

this seems very similar to issue i filed some time ago :
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44069
unless this is a completely different thing, why the same file shows no such problem with 1.1.* versions ?

First, you might try these three configuration settings:
ReduceBitmaps
ReducedBitmapResolution
ReducedBitmapIncludesTransparency

(also in Common.xcs, and on the UI via Tools->Options->Print)
