Here are two posts about the issue. Removing the update is the current solution. Microsoft rolled back the update.

KB5000802 and KB5000808 cause printing crashes in Windows 10

Problems caused (from the Autodesk AKN post):

When printing to PDF in Revit, some text becomes distorted or off center. Recent print jobs did not have this issue before. Additional symptoms may include:

• Vertical or angled text prints as horizontal.
• Font spacing changes, jumbled words, and wrong sizes.
• Images missing from the title block.
• Completely blank pages.
• Physical prints are unaffected.
