I think the Gimp does its own thing with printers, usually managing to give better printing of colour artwork than most of the usual drivers (although there is slow convergence of gimp-print, ghostscript and CUPS, I think). It does mean that you have to set the options at the top right of the print dialogue on the first time and then tell it to save the settings.
I'm having a bit of fun and games with printing images myself today. Without a working Gimp, I'd probably try some mogrify command for your task, or netpbm trickery.
Hope that helps,
