In the attachment it shows the difference between 2.75 and 2.80 ensuring no other
settings having been changed for the 5160 label choice. I checked the 8160 label
and it was the same outcome.
I ran the same setup on the other labels I have ( 5267 set at 5167 per avery directions
)
and the print was correct.
So, I believe the dimensions that Avery supplied as default for 8160 and 5160 are
incorrect.
This is further supported by the measurements that I made with my dial calipers.
I am sorry that I didn't find this out earlier.
Thank you for your efforts.

dimensions
Comment # 11
on bug 54513
from Winfried Donkers
(In reply to comment #10)
When calculating the page width from the label dimensions in LibreOffice, I
get:
left margin + 2 * hor. dist. + label width + right margin ( not contained in
label definition as not all labels are positioned symmetrically, but here
aasumed as much as th eleft marging) =
4.8mm + 2 * 69.9mm + 66.7mm + 4.8mm = 216.1 mm = 8.508in.
It cannot be avoided that small differences occur, by rounding, paper
shrinking/expanding (moist, temperature), printer inaccurancy/misalignment,
etc.
If you maintain a small margin on your label (I mean space between label edge
and text), you should allow for these differences.
Your suggestion to place the labels on the page starting from the middle as
opposed to starting from the left (which is the current method), is an
interesting one. It would certainly be a good idea for labels which are placed
symmetrically on the page. But not all labels are like that.
Currently, the right margin is the variable. The right margin cannot be less
than 0.
I will think about your suggestion to see if I can find a method whicht spreads
the inaccuracy of the label position more evenly over the labels in a row and
not incrementing from left to right (current behaviour).
