I just reprinted the same "Printed from website" file to PDF using the __Save as PDF__ virtual printer on Firefox 101.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux 20.04, and I got the exact same problem: the printed file is 10+ times larger, has no selectable text, and zooming it to 1000% clearly shows distortion, whereas a file printed from HTML is both smaller in size and allows text selection, and looks much better when zoomed in to 1000%. So I'd say __yes__, I am still seeing this bug nowadays.

The newly printed file reports cairo 1.17.4.

I admit however that even text PDF-printed from HTML loses its crispiness when zoomed in that much, both then and now. I wonder if this is inherent to how PDF works or an issue in Cairo.
