Different browsers print the same pdf in different ways. Chrome will strip any readable text out of the print job, creating the letters by /drawing/ them rather than using fonts and characters. IE 11 uses fonts, but mungs the text, so that an "A" that looks like an A becomes a "[]" but that still looks like an A. FireFox appears to just use the original text and font.
