    Is it possible to PRINT 3 stacked images?
    For example: Clock face, transparent hour hand, transparent minute hand (all different images).

    They are stacked to show the time:

    I MUST find a way to print this page so it prints as you see it (with all 3 images). Is it possible? I can only get it to print out the hour hand.

    "Print background images/colors" browser settings do not seem to work.

    Thanks for ANY suggestions - I am going nuts.

    If you mean paper printing, you can use Internet Explorer, Firefox really doesn´t care about transparent images for printing. :)

    I could not get it to 'print' (paper) with IE. It just prints the top image.

    Since I need to dynamically generate many clocks/times, I decided to use the GD and PHP to merge the graphics - imagecopymerge() - that works and prints. I was hoping to get it done using CSS, but I guess that is a hard limit of css.

    Well, I used IE7 and printed the three images together perfectly, but your solution seems more appropiated to me. :)
