I have never had much luck with "gimp-print" and usually end up
saving from gimp and printing from something else (usually either
konqueror or kview).

You might try setting gimp to just print straight to the printer (try
setting it to raw or lp) I just looked at my gimp setup and was
surprised to see that I do not even have a File->Print option.
So that shows how often I try to print from gimp :o)
