Because absolute positioning depends on the user having the same
settings that you have. She doesn't. She has a bigger screen (or a
smaller one) and doesn't have or want the entire window covered with
your content - she is doing something else in another window at the same
time. She can't see very well so she has increased her default font
size (making a mess of your pixel perfect layout).

.... because they are badly designed. Pages can validate perfectly and
be awful.

You can't do it (reliably). If you want layout on the printed page, use
a LINK to a .pdf version of your page.
