Larry,
I followed your steps precisely, left the rotated label as autosize. The positioning is correct whether previewed or printed to the screen, but when sent to the printer moves up the page exactly 3/4".
Went back to my example and sent it to the printer (I was simply printing to the screen previously) and it still works fine.
Then I noticed that in your example the blue line at the bottom of each detail band does not print when I send it to the printer. It is there in preview, and when I print to the screen. But when sent to to the printer all I see are white lines through the objects on the page style. I do see the box of the same line weight and color that is on the page style band. After going in and out of design mode a few times I got a series of access violation messages.
I have tried making the detail band slightly higher, making the page header band higher and moving the objects down from the top of the band a bit (related to changes around update 74), all to no avail. Then I tried printing to a PDF. Interestingly, here the rotated label is shifted slightly DOWN the page from its original position.
Yet my example works fine. (Did you try that? I let the label autosize, then unchecked autosize and centered the rotated label in the band using the alignment tools.) Go figure.

Do you mean manually centered, or sized to be the same as teh page style band and then centered by the program?
Here are the steps I used to duplicate my problem in ConComp (if you care to spend any more time on it):
Open RRBYW8, and open the PageStyleReport in Design mode.
In the Page Style band of the report, locate a Rotated Label component. Set the following properties:
Angle = 20 degrees Font = Arial 72 point Text = Test Label
Now, move the label so that the highest visible point (the top of the final letter L in "LabeL") is at the same height as the "E" in the R:Base graphic logo on the page.
Now, switch to Preview mode. The report will appear correctly on the screen -- the label and the word R:Base are at the same height.
Now print the report (you only need to print the current page). The label will now move up on the printed version, so the top of the label is about an inch or two above the R:Base logo. It appears that the difference may be due to the height of the header. -- Larry
