Layer transparency stopped working...what did I do this time?

Been working with hatch and layer transparency fairly frequently.  Never had a problem with this feature working until today.  Doing a revision to an existing drawing and after plotting I noticed the 50% transparent layer was plotting too dark.  I checked the page setup, and "Plot Transparency" was checked.  Transparency Display is 'On', so I see the transparent layer in the viewport.  I went back to my original drawing to make sure I wasn't seeing things, and sure enough the plot from 2 weeks ago showed the transparent layer at 50%.  Today I cannot get the same .dwg file to plot properly.  Anybody have a clue what my fat fingers pressed by accident this time...lol?

Thanks,

Alan

Happen to all transparent objects, or only a part of them?

All: Make sure this variable is set to 1 (or two)

A part:
Memory issue / driver problem.
Workaround is going dwg -> pdf -> paper

wow...excellent help, thank you!  I think you nailed it...must be a memory or driver issue.  I used batch plot to plot to pdf in autocad.  The transparency did not show up there (screen shot of today's plot).  But then I printed that pdf to another pdf, and the transparency showed up perfectly there.  How strange.  I will update my driver and have a known memory issue, which now needs to be dealt with immediately.  Thanks again.
