With openSUSE 12.3:

* Printing the CMYK TIFF you sent me gave basically a gray page with
  narrow vertical stripes.

* Converting it to PDF using ImageMagick, and verifying with "identify
  -verbose file.tif", printed correctly, in CMYK mode.  I verified this
  both from the CUPS error log (where Gutenprint indicated that it was
  in CMYK mode) and by visual inspection of the output with a 5x loupe.

So the core print chain works, but imagetoraster appears to have
problems with at least CMYK TIFFs.
