Jehan, this is irrelevant to the question :) The question is whether GIMP does the correct color space conversion and, as a matter of fact, whether it should do it at all, which depends on the kind of printing plug-in in use. If this is about the Gutenprint plug-in, then any wrongdoings are most likely on its side. If this is about the printing via stock GTK+ dialog, then it depends on the version of GTK+ and operating system.
