Yes sadly this is a known problem and relates to the fact we lazy load
images. You can follow what we discussed and what our plans are going
forward here:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T162414

The short of it is:
* There is no way to asynchronously load images when a print is detected
* We filed a bug upstream against the HTML standard:
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2532#issuecomment-294021096
* It looks like the only way to avoid this problem in the mean time is to
provide a non-browser print button.
