It's the other way round, on Linux it prints at 75 dpi (native for WebKit) while on Windows it uses the desktop's DPI (which is normally 96 dpi). You can use --zoom 0.78125 (75/96) to get the same effect on Linux.

Hello,

Have you found a solution to this issue? I get the same kind of error. When I print in A4 on Windows, it fits perfectly, while on linux, it seems like everything is zoomed in

Thanks,
Fabien

@ashkulz Thanks, that's perfect :)
