Well, actually the situation predated me using Linux, but still exists.
One example would be trying to print something using OpenOffice.org.
The page dimensions don't match.

I ran out of business cards one day, so I bought one of those perforated
sheets from the local shops to make some up in a hurry.  It was one hell
of a time trying to get printing to print in the right spots.  I had to
leave very large margins to allow for sloppiness.

After an hour or so of grief, I bought plain blank card and a
guillotine.  Manually cutting cards up was far neater than dealing with
cards with printing rarely ever in the centre of the card.
