Chrome V54 - Font size reduction while printing

Reported by elyas...@gmail.com, Nov 7 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open certain pages (like invoices) in Print Preview
2. View either the print preview, or the printed document

What is the expected behavior?
The invoices and other printable pages would look and print similar to other browsers.

What went wrong?
Despite there being no difference in the print.css for Chrome/IE/Firefox, some pages print about 30%~ smaller in Chrome making the text hard to read.

Did this work before? Yes V53

Chrome version: 54.0.2840.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

Can you provide sample HTML + CSS to demonstate the issue?
This may be the same as  http://crbug.com/660058 .
Do you think printing issue has to do with the way Chrome v54 now follows the custom Windows DPI scaling settings? 

Since Chrome now applies Windows scaling settings to the browser contents, anyone with non default DPI scaling would see larger scaled invoices in Chrome then in Firefox, IE etc.  Now if when Chrome prints those invoice the print at the correct size, then there will be a discrepancy between what you see display on a Webpage in Chrome and what actually prints...  
Same issue here... Same as  http://crbug.com/660058  indeed
