Four lines, but not bass tab
Ukulele and bass tab both use four lines, so the same sheet superficially serves either. In practice they want different spacing. Bass playing ranges widely up the neck and produces plenty of two-digit fret numbers, which need room. Ukulele lives mostly in the first five frets, so single digits dominate and the staves can sit closer together — more music per page.
Reentrant tuning is the thing to watch
Standard ukulele tuning is gCEA, and that g is high, not low. The fourth string is pitched above the third. Tab still shows physical string order, so the top line is the string nearest your face regardless of pitch. Guitarists picking up a ukulele consistently misread this at first, and it is worth writing the tuning at the head of the page if you are sharing your tabs.
Tab plus a rhythm line
Tablature records where your fingers go but not how long notes last, which matters especially for the strummed rhythms most ukulele playing is built on. Leave space above each stave to sketch a strum pattern — down and up arrows are enough — or your own tabs will be unreadable a month later.
Printing it accurately
This only measures correctly if your printer doesn't rescale the page. In the print dialog set Scale: 100% — not "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages". If you're not sure it worked, print the calibration page, measure the ruler on it with a real ruler, and it will tell you exactly what your printer is doing to the page.
