Actually, I tend to find that printing from GIMP to a file and then
either using lpr to print it or using ps2ps to rewrite the postscript
before printing works, too. What confuses me is that surely the
rasterisation is being done on the PC, and so it shouldn't matter what
the content is by the time the printer gets it.
