(Get the code!)
GIMP is an exception under the application programs. It's printing facility is directly linked to the Gutenprint driver library and therefore you have to configure it for your printer. If your printer is in the list of printer models listed in GIMP's printing dialog, it is explicitly supported by Gutenprint. Choose the model entry and leave the "-oraw" in the printing command. Then the GIMP dialog does all job processing and not the printing system. This gives you many more possibilities to adjust the appearance of the output. If your printer is not listed, choose "PostScript Level 2" and remove the "-oraw" from the printing command. Then GIMP behaves as the other applications. It sends PostScript to the printing system and the printing system takes care to convert the data into the printer's native language.
This is really not a bug. It is a feature of GIMP's architecture, so I will close this report.
If you need an easy solution for printing pictures, have a log at image managing/viewing tools like gThumb, digikam, flphoto, f-spot...
