I haven't tried this but I have a hunch: check if the paper size and the
card widths tally. I.e. if the card width * 2 + whatever margins are set
are wider than the current printable width then it should do what you
describe. You can prevent it by setting the margins very narrow and/or
lying about the paper width. The latter may cause the printer to do
strange things. This is not limited to OO afaik.
