@media print css tag

I am using the @media print rule to present my data in a printable format (letter size). The problem I am having is Safari shrinks the output to about 1/4 of the desired size. It works fine in IE and Firefox.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

yup, I've seen this as well. I had to create a print stylesheet, and I provided css styles in inches that Safari didn't respect. Everything was smaller than I had defined.

After a bit of experimentation, it turns out that Safari is subtracting the user-defined page margins (1 inch on all sides by default), rendering the page as if it was 8.5 x 11 wide, and then scaling it to fit in the printable area.

Extremely lame.

Does anyone know where I can report bugs?
