Hi Tony,

I don't know anything about GLabels, but my gut says that is a problem 
with scaling in your printer driver.  Make sure that your printer isn't 
automatically scaling A4 to US Letter or something like that.  You may 
have to fiddle around in the print options or poke around in the minor 
settings in the CUPS web interface (http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/) to 
find it.

Regards,
Paul
