I wrote which browsers I use (Gecko[1] & KHTML[2]). I mostly use rpm distros
with KDE3, KDE4 or TDE, very rarely with Gnome or any of its derivatives.

The extra paper is consumed because print preview WYSIWYG doesn't work right
when DPI is not 96. It's adjust and try, adjust again and try again, etc.
until result meets need, if ever.

Most distros force 96 DPI systemwide at the Xorg level regardless of actual
screen density. I disable forcing DPI on my systems. Have you ever done so?

Apparently you glossed over the foundation of what I wrote. Try configuring a
significantly higher than average DPI screen to make physical density match
logical density and see how printing works for you. I anxiously await your
report back.
