the point is that if you don't specify:<br>

format=image/png<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>

and this is bad for your print job because JPEG doesn't support transparency.<br>

The server is just delivering what the URL is asking it to...<br>

Why not print from the browser? Because not all browsers print the same and
