works for me haven't had to line up again after that. once you have it lined up right save it as a template, and make future version from that. Might be a silly question, but your designs are symmetrical AND positioned exactly the same distance from the sides of the paper as you look at the print page? I do what you're trying to with an old version of Publisher (2000 I think) and had this trouble, I drew rectangles the size I needed (8 total, 4 down the left side 4 down the right) then flipped the page and print again, held it up to the light to measure the difference and as you are getting they ALL looked out of line, when you are correcting it, only correct one side of the set of 8 (either 4 left or 4 right) and it brings it all it line, don't try to correct the whole lot unless you half the difference, up and down is mostly to do with paper feed as was said further up.

(For what it's worth, I'm using Windows 7 (pro, 64bit) and my printer is a Samsung CLP-325.)

Any idea what would cause this and how to avoid it? So I wondered, are there any good ways to do it? In the PDF, things are aligned very well, but the printer messes it up with more than 2 mm difference. The difference seems to be always in the same direction, but strangely, moving the images around doesn't seem to change much - as if the printer automatically corrects this. I already tried adding 1-2mm extra on all sides to allow some fluctuation, but this turns out to be insufficient. However, after several attempts, it seems it's not working as expected: my printer seems to impose extra margins which mess up the alignment (which makes the printed area of the front side no longer coincide with the printed area of the back side). Naturally, both sides of the print need to coincide exactly.

I have designed some fancy cards (80mm x 48mm), and I would like to print them on both sides of a sheet of paper now (5x2 per A4 sheet).
