Agreed, colors in printouts need to be opaque. I think the problem of
different colors in overlapping areas could be solved, but Cairo
documentation [1] says translucent colors are not supported on
PostScript surfaces and will result in rasterized images. It is bizarre
that I am not seeing this problem on Linux.

I have already patched my branch to use opaque colors for printouts.

Thank you for the report, I will check it.

Cheers,
