Prerequisites

Describe the issue

I have a website using Bootstrap 5.3.3 and when I (Ctrl+P) print the page on Windows 10 it causes pixelation, but not when using an Android mobile phone.

Here is a printout on a physical paper using a thermal printer.

Left side:

  • Windows 10 - pixelated
    Right side:
  • Android mobile - perfect 👍

On this particular page the computed Font Family is the basic Bootstrap one:

ChatGPT recommends changing Windows settings, but if I have 100 of users using Windows 10, I don't want to recomment them to mess with their system settings.

ChatGPT also recommends to manually add the 'Arial' font to the @media print but I was hoping basic Bootstrap settings would cover it?

ChatGPT also thinks the issue could be related to the Segoe UI

Reduced test cases

This might require someone who has a Windows 10 PC to test printing.
