Thanks to a new forum user who provided a handy sample stack, I was able to pin down a recipe for making a very common form of printing on Windows completely unusable:

Setting the vGrid or hGrid properties of a field cause the field to be rendered into the print buffer with the entire content region blacked out:

Interestingly, printing to PDF works fine. But using Microsoft OneNote's "Print to file" option shows the anomaly as physical printers do.

So if you're among those mystified by weird printing output, this may be the issue.

Hopefully this will be addressed quickly. In its current state it kills LC as an option for a wide range of business and consumer applications.
