I'm not sure you tried the different workflow from @Anonymous-k since it appears you only do "...select my physical printer (HP Photosmart 5524) and use "Save as PDF" button..."

Here is the workflow change again, a known limitation in MacOS's use of the Previewer App:

"There is a bug in Preview app (in macOS High Sierra and later releases) which resulted in black areas on hard copy, when you print PDF files created in AutoCAD with solid hatches with transparency.

When AutoCAD creates PDF with its build-in PDF "printers" from drawing with such solid fills, it creates raster image with transparency areas. Such areas are invisible in PDF, but they exist and Preview app prints them as black areas.

Workaround is to print using Adobe Reader or other application which doesn't use macOS PDF engine. Or convert PDF to raster image before printing."

To let Autodesk know you want something else instead (which may appear in a future version in a 1-2-5 years), start here https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback

Good luck.
