Come to think of it - I never looked into printing within VIM
(there is way too much involved there including postscript issues,
vim's grokking of it, etc).  You might want to contact the 'vimdev'
list,

  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vimdev/messages

and point this issue/bug out to Bram (vim's main developer) to see
if they have interest in solving this (they should).  I don't have
any intentions in looking into this anytime soon.

As a midterm solution - use a different application to print your
documents (like a Mozilla browser, or the 'txtbdf2ps.pl' script or
katoob or ...)

Salam.
