Print Page - Issue with Font Sizing & Grid Background Colors

I have a couple of issues with the latest builds in 10.3 including the new build 34513.
The first issue I have is when changing the background of a header color on the grid in print page it does not print the color . It shows after hitting print , but does not show in preview or when it prints.

I thought maybe print setup , Tried on two printers , no color on header in Color mode or Shaded in Black and White. It prints colors in the grid on records so I know it is not the printers setup , but not the header of the grid.
Second issue , I seem to have is a problem with just one horizontal print page . I have two pages with the same exact setup , except different fields. One page prints font size correctly and the other one prints font size very small.

I have tried changing from Small ( and made this page has custom settings ) to normal . Also tried changing the font size of every field and header label and totals to a larger font . It get's overridden by what , I don't seem to know

but still prints to a font size of about 8, which is unreadable.
Update: Third issue with print page . Another Issue with the print page has now arose with printing images on the print page. This is details from another table that contain an image. With details on the print page setup and

Javascript onload $("#printDetailsToggler1").trigger("click"); to print details containing an image everything prints except an image. Looking at developer tools , it seems it is trying to load a thumbnail instead of the actual image. Since

I do not have thumbnails setup in the details table I don't know why this is trying to print the image as a thumbnail which is leaving the image blank. The images show on list page preview and on view page and edit page. When inspecting those [size="2"]imag[/size][size="2"]es they do not show the [/size][size="2"]attribute[/size][size="2"] data-thumbnails . If I click PDF view on print page the image shows in the PDF, so something is causing the image to be blank on print page, I suspect the data-thumbnail attribute is the issue. Not sure how to fix it? [/size][size="2"]it is causing [/size]a lot[size="2"] of time that in 9.8 was a simple process as the master/details setup for the image issue in 10.3 - I used same setup which worked in 9.8.[/size]
[size="2"]Any help on these three issues would be appreciated , [/size][size="2"] I would have posted these issues [/size]separately[size="2"] , but they are all related to the print pages. [/size]

Just as a try to help.
Can´t replicate the first issue - have background colors for header cells in the print view and PDF.
Second: Some/all browsers try to fit the printout on one page or the page width as a standard. In result - regarding which data content you have in your table - it can happen, that a scaling to 200% or 150% is necessary to get the desired print output.

Thanks for the reply .
The first issue - The background colors show in the print view and PDF , but do not print or show in print preview and when you print and settings for both printers I tried were correct . It prints colors in the background of the records but not the grid header so that tells me it's not the printer setup. In printing - PDF it is fine colors are there and show in print preview and print correctly.
The second issue - I had already scaled to 125% in printer setup and it just overrides whatever I scale too. It is bizarre. Tried on two printers. I would just make a new print page , but it is the default print page and every time I change the default of one of the pages , to a new name , I have to start over as I get all kinds of errors in the project as there is no reset page anymore in 10.0+. See this post for errors when you change the default. May have to re-build the whole table from scratch again. It's a statistics calculator so the colors are important. Thanks.
