Windows Vista or XP can do this already - just open the folder, select any
one or more images, and one of the choices on the left allows you to print
and in the process choose how you want the images to appear on the page.

Gimp's printing capabilities are notoriously weak,
especially on MS-Windows, I suspect, which is part
of the "MS-DOS standardized _nothing_" that gives
even commercial software developers fits, much less
volunteer labor trying to cater for every
idiosyncracy of every brand of printer.

A really easy way to do what you want though is just
to write a tiny local bit of HTML as a web page, to
lay out the page display 2x2 from the separate
images, and then print that web page from your
browser. That plugs you into the much stronger
printing capabilies browsers supply.

A snippet of web page code vaguely like:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img src="./image1.jpg">
<img src="./image2.jpg">
<br clear=all>
<img src="./image3.jpg">
<img src="./image4.jpg">
</body>

or so should at least give you two rows of two
pictures. Use of <table>...</table> will give
you overwhelmingly more control, but it's hard
to describe in a line or two how to use that.

HTML is the poor man's page image and text fancy
layout, display, and printing tool, and a look at
the Internet will tell you that it is a massively
powerful such tool. Once you learn HTML coding, you
don't really need word processors any more.
