Steps to reproduce:
go to: Washington Post. Go to Crossowords. Press "Play". Try to print a paper copy of the daily crossword. Result is a garbled page. This worked until about April 1 and it works fine on Chrome. Also works on NYT xword feature.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Printing: Output' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I can't repro this. If I click print i get a dialog to select font size and darkness, and printing (to PDF at least) results in a reasonable page.
Does this work if you use Firefox's print-to-pdf feature? Or just when printing to an actual paper?

When I select "firefox print to a pdf" it offers to print a multipage document as a pdf.
I installed Chrome to do this and it works but I have to wait until an unwanted voice ad finishes playing.
This made me think it might be my ad blocker, although this was not a problem before about April 1, 2023. However when I turned my ad blocker off I still got the same results.
So, currently to print the daily Washinton Post xword to paper I use Chrome. To get the daily NYT xword Firefox continues to work fine.
Thanks for your attention to this. I acknowledge there may be some feature in my system, but if I am the only one with this kind of problem then spend time on other stuff. I am able to do what I need. Thank you.
