'Printing markdown in VSCode uses different styling than on-screen
When I go to print markdown from VSCode it does render the markdown, but it has a very different styling than the on-screen preview. How do I fix this?

VS Code does not support the printing of markdown or anything else. For that you need a printing extension. There are only two of these, and I wrote the one that prints rendered markdown. I'm quite certain you're talking about mine because it has a Markdown: Styles setting and the other one doesn't.
There are settings that allow you to customise styling. It's not currently styled using a stylesheet because there are complications referencing that sort of asset in remoting environments.
To work around this I had to embed styles into the document. This has the unfortunate effect that you cannot override them with a separate CSS file. As a temporary measure, I have made available settings allowing you to customise the embedded styles.
I notice in the screen snap that I have specified "Blackadder ITC" as the font-family. This is not a typeface I would recommend, probably I was giving a demo. I sincerely hope this wasn't in shipped setting defaults. If that's why you think it's "ugly" then change the heading font-family to whatever typeface you prefer for headings. sans-serif will use the local default.
