What is the expected behavior?
Should be no missing letters. Using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, 8gb ram, Star SP500 receipt printer.

What went wrong?
Random letters are missing on the printout. This has worked fine for the past 7 years, the last few weeks this has been a headache. Customers don't want unreadable receipts for products and services they've purchased.

Please try using --disable-gdi-text-printing as a workaround. If you are not sure how, refer to: https://www.chromium.org/for-testers/command-line-flags

Otherwise, hang on and wait for a new update, which will apply the workaround by default.
Thank you for the resolution. It seems to be working.

All of our clients are thankful.

Hoping you add that as the default setting in your next release.
It is the default setting in 54.0.2840.93 and newer. If you have not received the update, you should soon.
