I have a similar issue on Inkscape 0.91 but seems intermittently. I have been printing product labels on 8.5" x 11" sheets using this workflow:

1) Design individual labels as separate svg files > export design as png
2) Create Label print sheet (8.5" x 11" doc) as new document > import label pdf (8.5" x 11" label layout)
into doc (layer 1) > Import individual label design png's into doc > position png's on each label box center in a new layer > hide label outline layer > save "copy of file" as PDF file.
3) Open pdf file in Adobe DC and print finished labels from Adobe.

One particular label size always shifts left and up about 1/16" to 1/32" no matter how I try to adjust the original svg file. Other labels sizes seem to print perfectly so it is very frustrating. The total width that I am having the most trouble with is 7.74". I have a label page with a total width of 8" and it prints out perfectly, each label aligned on the page with no shifting.

Is that any issue that would be odd size related? I tried using the most current .92 Inscape but had crashing issues so went back to .91 to try for stability. Is there any headway on this issue? I will try to print with the "auto size" checked as mentioned above to see it that helps. I am wasting a lot of labels trying to print out my file as it is designed in Inkscape. On most label printings everything goes so smoothly, it just chokes on this particular label size, which is so odd.
