changing 33 to 30 will get you black. ANSI color escapes are on
the web in many places.
Also, decent terminal emulators let users tweak the colors, and making
sure all main colors are readable on the default background would
probably be a good use of that ability.

This is a sore point with something I'm fighting with. Chinese electronics
makers are in the habit of publishing .pngs of their products, with the most
valuable info one needs to properly hook it up, in a putrid yellow on a white
background.
Would it be practical to put a filter in the path cups put things headed to a
printer thru, to change just that esc sequence to make those boxes and their
text content into something more readable.
For an example of such an unhelpful document, find a copy of
"MKS-Robin-Nano-V3.X-main.zip", unpack it, cd to Image-V3, and look at
"MKS_Robin_Nano_V3_PIN.png" on-screen or better yet print it.
Like this?

I can't help you with the printing.
I use xli to view images. I like it primarily because it requires no mouse.
It also has a lot of command line options that I don't understand, but
they are fun to play with.
$ xli MKS_Robin_Nano_V3_PIN.png # I see what Gene complains about
$ xli -gamma 7 MKS_Robin_Nano_V3_PIN.png # Colors appear much darker
$ xli -gray MKS_Robin_Nano_V3_PIN.png # Yellow is now gray. Lighter content
is too light
$ xli -gray -gamma 5 MKS_Robin_Nano_V3_PIN.png # Yellow is still gray. But\
Lighter content is more
legible
$ xli -colors 2 MKS_Robin_Nano_V3_PIN.png # Only ONE shade of gray (obscures
some info)
