Yes, this is also what annoys me most at both Firefox and Chrome, their print commands produces almost always complete garbage, despite the fact that the same pages are rendered perfectly on screen.
For some reason, the print command works much better in the Vivaldi browser. It frequently renders correctly pages that are garbled by Firefox and Chrome. Moreover, its print command also works many times faster. Thus even if I usually browse with Firefox, when I want to save a page I frequently reopen it in Vivaldi, in order to print it from there. Unfortunately, not even Vivaldi does it always perfectly.
It is very annoying that the print command does not work in browsers, because nowadays that is the only reliable way to save a Web page. Saving a page with the "Save" command rarely works, especially when attempting to read the saved page offline, because too many pages rely on scripts to generate the displayed content, and those frequently do not work offline or even just inside local files.
