I have now found the cause of the confusion with this. If you look at the print dialogue the default just says printer. Printer apparently is your default printer. Where as every other app lists the name of the default printer gimp just says printer. I only found this out today by accident I hit print instead of close and it printed. This is still a bug but more by usability rather than physical so I'm not sure if you want to close it push to upstream.
