Print it lined up

The test page draws only the outline of every label and a ruler. Print it on plain paper, hold it against your sheet in front of a window, and save a nudge for your printer if the outlines sit off the labels.

Print at Actual size (100%), not "Fit to page". Use plain paper first, then hold it against your label sheet in front of a window.
