Its a web browser, os and printer question - so I'd say yes, and with examples (especially if it does the same on a PDF print - so you can screenshot examples), its on topic.

Super User is tailored for personal computing questions - hardware and software problems you'd face in a home or SOHO environment. Server Fault covers computers in a professional environment. Stack Ov …

Both these examples would be off topic here. We've had questions in the past on finding where the wallpaper is stored on a system (for recovery purposes) but where a photo was taken does not really in …

It does fit quite neatly into the scope SU and SF have but in many cases the community there's really good at very difficult problems.
