Receipt printing in Chrome - Bad quality

When i try to print a receipt in Google Chrome the quality of the text is bad. (its dotted/rasterized) and to wide for the receipt.

I use Google Chrome 39.0.2171.71 m With a Star TSP100 receipt printer with 80 mm receipt.

The receipt printer is as default set on 72xreceipt. It does cut of at the right lenght.

The text looks dotted/rasterized ... enter image description here

This is a problem within Chrome, because everything works fine in Firefox. only my POS works faster on Chrome. Thats why i want to use chrome.

The print dialog says black-white printing.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Set font "color:black" in your stylesheet, eg:

<style rel="stylesheet" media="print">
...
body {color:black;}
...
</style>

I had the exact same problem and this was the last thing that came to my mind and it worked.

Google Chrome just supports graphics printing, this may cause some quality issues when dealing with receipt and text only printers. Maybe changing font type and size helps a bit. I've resolved this creating a native service that handles the printing logic since java applet is not supported now by default in Chrome. Good luck.
