Screenshot demonstrating scaling (or font size?) difference

Original Bootstrap issue: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/14868

To reproduce:
1. Open http://jsbin.com/tuxos/2 in Safari 8.0 (10600.1.25) on OS X Yosemite
2. File->Print
3. Set "Paper Size" to "US Letter"
4. Ensure that "Scale" is set to "100%"
5. PDF->Open PDF in Preview
6. Compare the resulting PDF to those produced by Chrome's or Firefox's print features.

Expected Result:
Disregarding margins and margin-related scaling, Safari's PDF should look nearly the same as the other browsers' PDFs.

Actual Result:
Due to page scaling (or font size adjustment?), the apparent font size in Safari's PDF is significantly smaller compared to the other browsers.


Adding
  .container {
    width: auto !important;
  }
seems to make Safari scale the page closer to how the other browsers scale it.

(Caption on right Firefox PDF in screenshot should say "enabled" instead of "disabled")
