I have a headscratcher going on....
Currently, there's a situation where items are printing differently than what's being displayed on screen. Specifically, opaque objects are printing transparent. I now have three distinct (but probably related) situations where this has been noticed.
Basically I'm asking if anyone else has seen this issue before and may have found a solution. I also understand that "tagging" elements would work, as well as printing using raster but raster drawings are not a solution. All elements have been printed to both PDF and an actual printer from both a sheet and a view, same result. The print preview shows how the view will be printed, so this has to be a Revit printing issue somewhere under the hood.

If anyone needs projects, families, journals, logs or slogs lemme know (although the test project is not worksharing enabled, it still happens in central files).
Thanks for all the help!
I have the same problem.
Generic Model families printing transparent when I use vector processing in my printing settings. Even when it's opaque in the screen, visual style is Hidden Lines, and they have a material applied.
Anyone knows why?

No. it's just a simple rectangle.
But I've tried deactivating the crop region and have the same result.
I read and seems to be a problem with the "Hidden Lines" display and vector printing. But I still don't understand why it happens.
Good call on the custom crop sketch, I've noticed that has caused printing/graphic issues. After some research, it seems that this all started around 2012-2014. Ironically, if you nest a Generic Annotation family (with the parameters properly associated) into a Detail Item, it shows AND prints correctly from a project environment.
Unfortunately, Detail Items can't be loaded into modeled components like Generic Annotations can be, so it becomes a dead end. I'm no coder by any means, but this seems like a vector printing bug that has been overlooked.
I think I was having the same issue with the background of my elevation and pipe tags (they were showing to be opaque on screen but printing transparent). I found this little trick worked for me: (I am using Bluebeam PDF printing so yours may be different) Under "General Settings," and Plot Quality, I selected "Advanced" Next to the Line Merge check-box. Then I simply changed "Blend Mode" from Darken (the default) to Normal (none). Somehow, this worked and my tags now print with opaque backgrounds!
Hope this helps!
I cheat and get around the problem by using the 'Print Screen' and pasting into 'PAINT'
