US Letter dimensions and print setup
US Letter paper measures 8.5 x 11 inches. At 300 DPI, its calculated raster size is 2550 x 3300 pixels; at 150 DPI, it is 1275 x 1650 pixels. Landscape orientation swaps the two dimensions.
Most office printers cannot print fully to the edge. Use a margin unless the device supports borderless Letter output. The downloaded image has correct calculated pixel dimensions, but the print dialog must still use Letter paper and the intended scaling.
