not a bug, it's a feature :-)

awful print quality due to unwanted blur

That's interesting - the high quality mode applies anti-aliasing,
which usually improves the viewed image - but not in your application.
Anyway, as you say - it isn't a bug, it's a feature.

Yes, I have it enabled.
Actually, disabling it made it as it should be, and EOG also has an option to
do that.
It appears it is a feature, not a bug after all, though it does affect printing
quality. So, probably it is a bug only for that specific type of image.
I'm attaching the sample I use.
I've tried all of them.
By the way, the printer is an HP PSC-1315.
I think the problem may be (but I'm not sure) in the way gThumb (and eog) opens
the files. I've noticed that if I zoom in, the image already gets the blur
effect on-screen. That happens with normal pictures and SVGs alike, so I
Attached is the screenshot of Inkscape, showing the original image. I
don't print using inkscape because its printing services are terrible.

Ah, the problem is that you are using SVG images. SVG is a vector
format. gThumb and eog are raster viewers.
The librsvg library is used by gThumb and eog to convert the SVG image
into a raster format - automatically causing fuzziness. I'm not sure
what dpi/resolution is used in the vectorraster
The fact is that gThumb also does that for raster images. Like I said above,
it's only noticeable in images where sharpness matters, like scanned text.
Attached goes a side-by-side comparison of the same image in gThumb and GIMP,
now with scanned text.

Do you have Edit Preferences Viewer Zoom Quality = High?
Can you attach the sample text jpg so that I can see it on my own
system?

What version of gthumb are you talking about?
The 2.10.x series has a different (better) print system that earlier
versions.
