Thank you all for your input. Extremely helfpul. Restores my faith in Gimp.

Sorry--didn't mean to subscribe to a developer list. Newbie here.

As others have mentioned, check your print size.

If all else fails, export it as PNG or TIFF, create a new document in
Scribus, import your image, export as PDF.  Scribus has pretty robust
PDF output - I've sent quite a few PDFs to print with no issues.

PS - I now notice you are on the developer mailing list.  gimp-user is
probably a better option for future requests like these (gimp-devel is
more geared toward people hacking on GIMP).  No biggie though ;)
