I tested your images on a photosmart printer and it's printing correctly on transparency. Let me know what printer you are using and I'll give that a try as well.

Thanks.

HP Deskjet 1220c professional

The HP DeskJet 1220x is supported by HPLIP however it is outside of our technical support scope.

The support status is "Full - End of Support"

Which means:

The HP product has reached the end of support life, meaning the HPLIP solution is considered “As-is”. No further HPLIP code changes will be implemented by HP. While monitoring of Launchpad posts by HP personnel will continue, follow-up by HP personnel on these products will be extremely limited. Community members are encouraged to assist others with issues on these printers. Patches provided to HP to address issues on these products will be considered (but not guaranteed) for inclusion in future HPLIP releases. As of the end-of-support date, device functions and features available from the product and available from HPLIP should continue to function but cannot be guaranteed to continue to work in subsequent HPLIP releases.

You can get more information on this device here:

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet/deskjet_1220c.html

We no longer test on this device and the device support is "As-Is"..

I know your images are printing correctly on a newer HP device--so if it's viable option you could consider upgrading to a newer HP device. Or if someone else has a solution to this they can post it and we'll test and integrate it into HPLIP as appropriate.

Sorry I couldn't help more and sorry for the inconvenience.

Aaron
