Okay, this is good news..  This implies that it is NOT GnuCash
per se that's the problem.  (Although it doesn't rule out a problem
in GnomePrint or GtkPrint)...

I would argue that it's not GnuCash per se, but as I mentioned above
it COULD be an issue with GnomePrint or GtkPrint.  It might be interesting
to see what happens from another Gtk based application.  For example,
I'd be interested to know if Gnumeric also prints weirdly for you?
