Printing a PDF opened in browser is garbled using Opera's print dialogue

Opening and reading a PDF in Opera is fine. When I print to my Samsung 4020 Laser printer the output is garbled. If I select print using system dialogue, the output is correct. Used to work, but can't pinpoint which upgrade destroyed it.

Windows 10 1709 build 16299.125, latest opera.

If you have Chrome installed, does it happens with it too?

@zalex108 The other computer uses Chrome and it does it too.

If the problem happens with Chrome, then it's a Chrome's problem - Opera uses the same engine -.

You can try playing with the options.

@zalex108 Just tested it with chrome on my PC, and it does NOT happen.

Seems the problem is with Opera. The print dialogue is different - Opera has the inputs on the right of screen, Chrome on the left.

@zalex108 Also Opera just updated from 49 to 50, with no improvement in printing PDF

Test changing the options and saving to PDF to do not waste paper.

@zalex108 That invokes a different driver so testing is not valid.

I just installed the latest vendor driver for the printer, no change. The vendor driver for PS works fine.

There appears to be an Opera bug printing to the Samsung M4020 printer when using (presumably) PCL

Ouch!

Didn't thought on that.

Then,
You may ask on the Blogs also.
