the point is that if you don't specify:<br>
<br>
format=image/png<br>
<br>
in the WMS URL, then the print script will form a url for you that includes the
default value:<br>
<br>
format-image/jpeg<br>
<br>
and this is bad for your print job because JPEG doesn't support transparency.<br>
<br>
The server is just delivering what the URL is asking it to...<br>

different is because in GeoMoose the browser does the image compositing. In
the print utility there is no browser so the GD library needs to handle it.
Why not print from the browser? Because not all browsers print the same and
mans don't handle printing the composited images correctly. In any case high
res prints (think plotter) would be out of the question.</span></font></div>

I did a fix some time ago (http://geomoose.org/trac/ticket/108) regarding
using the alpha channel in Print_util.php. This fix is in GeoMoose v2.4 so
I'm confused...</span></font></div>
