Thanks. What I ended up doing was creating a duplicate opaque image for
each transparent image I needed to print. The duplicate is hidden, but
when printing I show it and hide the transparent one. I was hoping to be
able to create snapshots on the fly for printing, but if the stack is
hidden or the screen locked while creating a snapshot, you don't get an
image. I didn't try setting the stack offscreen. I have a suite of
almost 50 stacks to print, so creating duplicate images on all of them
was time-consuming.
