Open a TIFF image with transparent graphics (like highlighting ),using
 "Windows Image and Fax Viewer". Now if you print this image to a
PostScript
 printer, then the transparent graphics come out as opaque. Printing to a file and then viewing the output using GhostViewer also shows the same effect.
 The same doesn't happen when printing to a PCL printer.
 Any clues as to why this happenns?
