I have had similar problems, but I can't remember details. Basically, the view does not always represent what will print. Definitely, Win7 has been better than Win NT or XP. I rarely have printing difficulties.
I have worked around by trying to export and print from a different program - like make a pdf, or svg. Programs like Inkscape for example may print it just fine. In a pinch, needing something right now, I will create a screen dump and print that. I have never pursued trying to get it fixed. To an extent, I assume that an open source program will not do everything I want in the easiest way possible. You might experiment with different fonts.
