Printing from Firefox looks like printed image instead of text
The printing is inconceivably slow from Firefox. It takes couple of minutes per page.
Printing from Chrome or any PDF reader on the same printer, works like a charm. The text is sharp and printing is immediate.

When a page uses WebFonts (downloadable fonts) for a significant portion of the text, the entire page is generated as an image. However, that should happen quickly, I don't know why it would be so slow on yours.
What if you try a page that use a built-in font such as Times New Roman or Arial? (Not sure whether those are supplied with Linux, actually.)
For example, this page specifies Time New Roman for print output:

Is that speedy or same issue?
This explanation with the fonts makes sense.
