-------------------------------------
    External issue URL: https://github.com/qzind/tray/issues/1321

> Printed barcodes are fuzzy on macOS only
> ----------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: PDFBOX-5967
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5967
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.33, 3.0.4 PDFBox
>         Environment: macOS 15.3.1 (Intel and Apple Silicon)
>            Reporter: Tres Finocchiaro
>            Priority: Major
>              Labels: macOS, print
>         Attachments: pb_usps_sample.pdf, print_comparison.png

> The attached PDF prints well on Windows and Linux, but on macOS the barcodes 
> are fuzzy and unscannable.  We print a lot of 4x6 labels using pdfbox and 
> CUPS, so I'm not sure what is different about this label.  It's created by 
> Pitney Bowes through their shipping API.
>  * I understand that this may be a result of something happening at the 
> OS-level.  If this is the case, any guidance as to how to isolate and provide 
> a bug report for openjdk is greatly appreciated.
>  * If there's a workaround that can be used as a stop-gap leveraging the 
> PDFBOX API, that would also be greatly appreciated.
> *Steps to reproduce:*
>  
> * *PDFBOX 3.0:*
>     {{java -jar ~/Downloads/pdfbox-app-2.0.33.jar PrintPDF 
> ~/Downloads/pb_usps_sample.pdf -mediaSize=4x6}}
> * *PDFBOX 2.0:*
>     {{java -jar ~/Downloads/pdfbox-app-2.0.33.jar PrintPDF 
> ~/Downloads/pb_usps_sample.pdf}}
>  Tests were performed on physical hardware (Zebra ZD620 using the CUPS ZPL 
> driver).
