I have a file set up that has a white box with a 65% transparency lens. When I go to print, the white box and what's under it disappear and do not print. If I close the document and reopen it, the transparent box and what under it are back.
What do I need to do so this doesn't happen?
Something else I noticed. When I click print then escape, the transparent box and what is under it disappears. BUT, it's there, you just can't see it. If I click the box, it shows a box being there.

Hi Jim,
I haven't been into CorelDraw to check myself, but is it possible it is just a screen refresh issue? Have you tried pressing Ctrl+W when things disappear to see if they reappear?
Best regards,Brian.

It doesn't appear in the preview or it actually does not print out?
Both. The transparency and what is under it does not print, and it disappears.
Doing ctrl-W does not make it reappear. It just doesn't show. It's not deleted because when I quit our of the file, it doesn't ask me to save. When I open it, it reappears.
Please post the file, if possible.Might help if we could take a look at it because it doesn't sound right.
Could be a printer or video driver issue perhaps?
Unfortunately, the file size it too large....but, while I was trying to reduce the file size, I was able to get it to print. I reduced the image dpi and then it printed.
Do you mean that the object behind the lens is a bitmap? How large is this image?What resolution is set in Options > Document > Page Size?
Try "Print as bitmap" in the Print dialog. I'd guess a setting of 200 dpi would be sufficient.

What device are you printing to?
Are you saying that the transparent object does not print and alos disappeard from the application display or just the display in the print preview?

He already answered that - both, i.e. it doesn't appear in print preview, and did not print out.

He never mentioned print preview, so i was checking.
