You win the prize - albeit in reverse... thanks sktsee!

$ apt-cache depends opencpn
opencpn
  Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0
  Depends: libglu1-mesa
  Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx
  Depends: zlib1g
  Depends: bzip2
$ apt-cache policy libgnomeprintui2.2-0
libgnomeprintui2.2-0:
  Installed: 2.18.5-1
  Candidate: 2.18.5-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.18.5-1 0

$ apt-cache policy libgnomeprint2.2-0
libgnomeprint2.2-0:
  Installed: 2.18.7-1

So I checked on another system where OpenCPN _is_ able to print and it
_didn't_ have libgnomeprint2.2-0 installed. Purged libgnomeprint2.2-0
from this system and now OpenCPN prints! Go figure :-)

Thanks again.
