image sizes and printing from gimp

Hi, trying to revamp my website without photoshop on my imac. I'm trying to figure out why mac's Preview and gimp show images and image sizes differently. I changed the image size in gimp to 360pixels wide which should be 5" but when I print from Safari on a new web page I created for it, it was much smaller.

I was also trying to test print a few images only to discover that print isn't available in gimp. I thought CMYK should only be an issue on higher-end printers or for film separations. If others are printing from the Gimp, please tell me how.

There is a chance your imac had a dpi setting of 95 dpi (or there abouts) and your gimp setting was 72 dpi (or there abouts) so it would have come out 72/95 smaller
