Windows 7, Canon Printer, MS Word, MS Excel, Adobe PDF

I've been trying to make some labels and started in Excel - all the borders came out stepped, as though one cell was extended and the next indented. Some of the text followed this pattern in line with the changes in the vertical, or horizontal.

So, tried converting to PDF - all looked fine on screen, all straight lines etc. Print the thing and get exactly the same effect.

So, natural thought is that it is the printer and not an incompatibility - so, check paper feed aligned correctly, perform print head alignment. No change!

Now I try in Word with text boxes - exactly the same result!

Final try - find a square grid on Google images and print - all straight lines where they should be!!!!

Aaaarrrggghhh!

Please, someone tell me I'm either stupid, and/or they know what the problem is.
