It's been a while since I've had to do anything with a printer (so things may be better now?). But, back in the day, there were lots of problems drawing graphics to a printer because of unit conversions. Simply put, the printer has a *much* higher resolution per page than whatever it is that you are printing. A 1px width line that's perfectly horizontal or vertical may not show up at all in the output.
I remember having to render [vector-based] graphics to the printer by converting between screen-space to page-space for it to start looking right. I don't know if you have that kind of control in LC or not. Hope this helps, or gives someone else a clue to help you further.
