This is correctly reporting A4 with an 8px non-printable area around the
edge:

8.27 × 11.69 inches 	8.27 	72 	595.44
210 × 297 mm 	11.69 	72 	841.68

	
	
	
	
8,8,834,587 	834 	8 	842
l,t,r,b 	
	587 	8 	595


A4 is 210 x 297mm which is 8.27 x 11.69 inches at 72px per inch is ~842
x 595 (rounding off)
Take the Right coordinate of 834 ad add 8 and you get 842 and the Bottom
of 587 and add 8 and you get 595

Ink based printers are designed to do this because they can just catch the ink that gets oversprayed, and you can clean/empty the waste ink container periodically. Toner is different because the paper with the toner has to travel through the fuser, and then what doesn't get fused gets picked up in the waste toner bin AFTER the fusing process. The toner that gets left behind on a toner based printer has to have some means of being collected.
