X Minus 2 Customs Card Printer

I've been using this to print a bunch of cards, and I keep having the issue that the first page of cards is the right size, but everything after that is smaller. I'm using the latest version of Firefox.
 
It seems like there are two slightly different card sizes loaded into the printer currently. For example, the Zombie Hulk displays at the larger size, whereas the Beakface Sneaks display at a slightly smaller size.

It looks like the majority of cards have a transparent border around them that needs to be removed.
 
Printer could use the HoSS Clone Troopers, as well as Mace Windu and Count Dooku from the new release, thanks :)
 
The C3G Mole Machine isn't updated either.

Btw I just wanna say I appreciate this tool so much, I've used it to print SOO many cards. XD
 
Was picking out some cards, and noticed that the basic side for the Azurite Warlord adds the master side instead. Went through all the VC basics and it's the only one that does that. Also, the Red Mantis Blade Dancers are listed twice for both card sides (as "Red Blade Dancers" and "Redz Mantis Blade Dancers") and the images are either a different quality or just a different size.
 
I'll need an image for the Basic side of Azurite Warlord from @Leaf_It but I have corrected the Red Mantis Blade Dancers.
 
Was cutting out cards just now, and noticed that unfortunately the basic side for Azurite Warlord comes out significantly smaller than all the other cards. Probably should have noticed, looking at a spare printout and it's pretty visible (guess that shows how thoroughly I checked before printing lol)

@Leaf_It Looks like we just need to trim the border on this one.
 
Ran into an issue, the cards are slightly too small, and were also slightly off on the second side. Would both the issues simply be that the setting needs to be adjusted so it doesn’t “fit to page”?

Printing at 100% or "Actual Size" should fix this issue (see the FAQ in the OP of this thread for more info.)
 
I'm going to use Chrome to print the cards to PDF so I can take them to a print shop. Sounds like I shouldn't run into any of the issues that are mentioned in the OP (different browsers).

That said, I want to print on card stock and will likely upload my order online. With that in mind, it means I won't be able to see a 'test sheet' to make sure it came out right. I think my main concern is the cards printing at the right size. Anyone else run into any issues printing from Chrome to a PDF and then that PDF to a printer?

Is that a setting I should be looking for when I print it to PDF or would that be on the print shop side going from the PDF to an actual printer?

Tried it yesterday at a print shop and they all came out too small. Any idea what I may have done wrong? @Xorlof

Used Chrome, printed to PDF and told the guy behind the desk to make sure to choose actual size.
