  It’s part of an app that uses https://cefsharp.github.io/ good luck trying to find which one. I wouldn’t worry about it if no apps are actually effected. But try launching ones to see what triggers it and report it back to the developer.

  Haven’t seen anyone suggest this, but an option would be to use https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp and basically render some html, open it in chromium and use the print feature. It does a pretty decent job. It may not be a solution for heavy loads, as it was demanding quite a lot of resources for such a “basic” task.
