Printing a score to a pdf generates very fat notes a.s.o if using the downloaded nightly github-musescore-musescore-e9287fd
Printing a score to a pdf file prints very fat notes and other fat symbols. Seeing the same result if printing the score to my printer samsung ml-1660.

I forgot to say that the pdf file is correct if exporting the score to a pdf file and not to print to a pdf file.
So the fault is the PDF "printer", not MuseScore, right?
Using PDF printers has continuously been reported as being problematic, in al kinds of shapes and colors
I'm pretty sure that 2.x shows the same behavoir

Yes, it seems the problem is printing to a pdf file or printer (but why it's not a mscore problem? With mscore-2, the print result is flawless as expected)

If MuseScore exports to PDF correctly, I don't see how MuseScore can be at fault when printing to a PDF (or any other) printer and there the outcome is bad?
I'm pretty sure to have seen very similar output with PDF printers in 2.x. If you look at the known incompatibilities in the handbook, you'd see PDF printers being mentiond several times.
Sending to a PDF 'printer' to get a PDF file is at best a superfluous thing to do, that is what we have "Export to PDF" for.

I think yo can close the thread - after installing an elder poppler library and elder qt5 library, all printing problems with mscore are gone, so I think you are right, it is (or has been) an OS problem. Sorry for trouble.

I downgraded to an elder version of qt5 and of poppler (responsible for correct pdf rendering) .

Using version 2.1 & 2.2, Windows 10 and Microsoft Print to PDF I got a normal looking file. Unfortunately I can't upload it at the moment, so you'll have to take my word for it.
This leads me to believe this is a QT problem rather than a MuseScore problem.
Edit: I suppose at some point I should download 3.0 for further testing. Also, as I edit this post the PDF I upload is now listed, we'll see if it shows up on the post.

I'm woking under LINUX (Fedora 26), so I think my problems are different from your problems.
