Just verified with several printer drivers (HP LaserJet 4 PCL, Brother HL-1250, HP LaserJet IIP PS) on Windows XP and I don't see any serious displacements of the documents when using "-print". Not sure what's wrong on your side. Try other printers or printer drivers. Otherwise, and if Chris' work-arounds don't work for you, please state what operating system you're on and what printer and printer driver you use. The Java version will also be important.
