Description
* Xreader version: 2.8.3
* Distribution: Linux Mint 20.1
When printing a PDF document, numerous pages with cryptic word salad come out of the printer (in my case a printer from HP).
Steps to reproduce
- Open a PDF document.
- Print the PDF document.
- Look at the printout.
Expected behaviour
The printout should look exactly as Xreader displays the contents of the PDF document.
Other information
See the Scan of the first pages of the printout of a one-page PDF file. More pages would have been printed if I had not canceled the printing process.

Research direction
Reproduce the problem with Xreader 2.8.3 on Linux Mint 20.1 by opening and printing a PDF, then compare the output with the attached Scan of the printout. Investigate the printing path and verify that the printed pages match the document displayed by Xreader, including with the reported HP printer.
