> Is it possible to use a pure Windows 10 PC instead of virtualized Windows 10?

Not for me. I haven't owned a Windows computer for decades.

But this is a legitimate question: Differences in OS behavior in a virtual machine (as opposed to on bare metal) are rare, but I've seen them myself with macOS on VMware Fusion. We need to get some Mozilla Windows developers involved here, both to find out how reproducible this bug is and to look for ways to fix it (other than by doing a Windows-specific backout of my patch for bug 1719215). I'll look for "blame" in the Windows-specific printing code, and CC here some of those who are still active.
