Hello, As mentioned a few months ago there has been a significant update to the design and layout of printed articles.[0] [1] This impacts both PDF's created from the "Download as PDF" feature and from printing directly from the web browser.
The feedback and discussion have been incredibly helpful. The team is now ready to enable these styles as default across all projects. The deployment is scheduled for Monday, October 9th. If you have used the feature recently, not much has changed. If you haven't used it recently we encourage you to check out the new styles. A few features:
* New layout to reduce paper usage * Clear printing of tables and infoboxes * Better headings * Project-specific branding
For more information, please visit the project page on MediaWiki.org. Comments and feedback can be left on the talk page there.

Hey everyone,
I just checked out, as I did have some pages heavily relying on tables which where displaying almost nothing in the "print pdf" version. For example Recherche:Lexèmes français relatifs aux structures https://fr.wikiversity.org/wiki/Recherche:Lex%C3%A8mes_fran%C3%A7ais_relatifs_aux_structures. Now at first glance it looks really neat, and in any case its a really great improvement.
So congratulation and many thanks to all implicated people in this. :)
Happily, someone (probably)

This and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173909#3548401 do not provide much clarity, at least to me. If there are some recommendations/requests for local CSS/HTML styles or for content, they should be documented in an approporiate manual or help page, for instance: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/IDs_and_classes

Hey Nemo, Is the request to better document the print CSS styles in MediaWiki and skins? Is that correct?

If you expect something from local editors, yes. If the software adapts to what is there then maybe not.
