Questions
Why isn't 4 inches at 203 dpi exactly 812?
It is 812.8 dots, because 203 dpi is really 8 dots per millimetre. Printers can't draw part of a dot, so it's rounded down.
How do I find my printer's density?
It's on the printer's label and in its configuration printout, usually as 203 or 300 dpi.
