Printing from within a Remote Desktop Session with Font Smoothing Off causes text to print incorrectly

Reported by ch...@fireflycomputers.com, Nov 9 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0

Example URL:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a remote desktop session to a Server OS
2. Ensure Font Smoothing is turned off within the Remote Desktop Connection Settings
3. Open a webpage in Chrome with text, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test and print. You can even see the problems in the print preview itself.

What is the expected behavior?
Print preview and printed content is displayed properly

What went wrong?
Any time my end users try to print from chrome while connected to a remote desktop session host server without having font smoothing on, the printed text comes out overlapping, or with no spacing, or with incorrect spacing, or with incorrect characters.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? Yes We believe it worked in version 53, but have not yet confirmed.

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 54.0.2840.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

Can't seem to find any way to change the Chrome Remote Desktop Connection Settings.  How do you do that?
My apologies, I should add some clarification. The remote session is opened from a Windows system, using mstsc.exe. So the session is generated within Windows 7 (for example) and connects to Server 2008R2 (for example) with the RDS Session Host role installed.
This is not an issue with Chrome Remote Desktop.

font smoothing can be turned off by opening a remote desktop connection, and editing the section labeled 'experience' prior to connecting to the server.

We should probably ignore the font smoothing setting when printing.

I'm not sure I understand this bug.  Can someone attach a bad PDF generated by printint to the "Save as PDF" target?
