It is possible that there is a bug in gtkmm.  I think there have been
other people who have mentioned difficulties with printing in the past
and I have not gotten around to looking into them.  I'm not sure how
well-tested the printing support is in gtkmm.  If you file a bug it
will be much less likely to get forgotten.
