Please first mention what version of GIMP you are using, and on what
platform. Mentioning the printer brand and model would be useful too.
On GNU/Linux or Mac OS, Gutenprint does a very fine job for
printing.
Anyway, any printing software manages itself the conversion from RGB to
CMYK. However, they need some information, in the form of ICC profiles.
