I selected it, went into the format menu, selected transparent mode and voila, it displayed with a transparent background with the underlying layout showing through. Just what I wanted.

Just a guess, but I would point the finger at your printer driver. The rasterizer engine may not be able to process a graphic with "transparent" background.
