When printing to an Avery #5871 (clean-edge business cards), the result is undersized such that the edges in the cards are misaligned vertically by about 2.5mm. This is enough to make the resulting look very sloppy. This can be remedied, kindasorta, by changing the scale to 101%.

Test system is Debian 7 (wheezy) amd64
I've tried 3.0.0 (3.0.0-3+b1 from APT), 3.2.1, and the latest from the git repo. Printer is a Brother HL-5250DN monochrome laser printer. cupswrapperHL5250DN-2.0.1-2.i386.deb downloaded from Brother.com is installed.
