Not able to print items with a gradient to transparent

Alright team, lets see if we can solve this one - its stumped three Microsoft support people so far.

 

Have an image. I've placed a rectangular shape over this with a gradient from white to transparent to create a nice drop off. Looks great. Click print - transparency not recognised. Go to print and it comes out with that ugly line through instead of the nice gradient. 

 

What is going on?? Image "Word Viewer" is what I see while editing, and "Print Dialogue" is what I see when I click print. Apparently I'm doing something incorrect at this stage. 

 

I'm using MacOS 13.2 with Office 365 Microsoft Word for Mac 16.74. (It was the newer version but tech had me install a previous version to see if there was an update issue.)
