Try preparing the image in GIMP, then printing from GIMP and also another program - compare the results. There are issues with RGB->CMYK conversion in any program, but this test will at least let you know if GIMP's print plug-in is to blame for skewing the colors, or if you've just chosen colors that are out of gamut.
