As others have mentioned, check your print size.
If all else fails, export it as PNG or TIFF, create a new document in
Scribus, import your image, export as PDF. Scribus has pretty robust
PDF output - I've sent quite a few PDFs to print with no issues.

PS - I now notice you are on the developer mailing list. gimp-user is
probably a better option for future requests like these (gimp-devel is
more geared toward people hacking on GIMP). No biggie though ;)
