First some questions:
- is the system a Mandriva or another one? (the bug seems to say Mandriva, Reporter PCLinuxos2007)
- which hplip version are you using?
- is quality of printing better anyway in digikam -when finished- than in gimp?
- have you experienced any other kde application? Gwenview or kipi-plugins for instance.

Now what i can say is kde printing is different compared to the way gimp does, IIRC gimp use guteprint directly, that was an old idea of old printwizard maintainer iirc again. 
Anyway I experienced some similar problems in mandriva and always with hp
printers, so i believe there something on hplip drivers.
Have a look at http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23455 for instance.
