Can you give more information such as which printer you are using and
what filter you are using? Ie. hpijs, gimp-print etc. or a PPD file.

I have a feeling that this is a printer setup problem and not Gnome. I'm
printing fine from Evolution and Gedit with CUPS on Gnome 2.8.1, using
postscript PPD file (HP Laserjet 4050), and also using hpijs/gimp-print
to HP PSC 2110.

Additional setup details may help in tracking this problem down.
