7.4 is relatively recent, but there are a few hundred bugfix patches since the initial release. You could try upgrading to the latest ( http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Where_to_download_Vim ).

However, the only patches affecting print/:hardcopy don't seem related to any issues with the actual printing. So I'm not all that hopeful.

Can you try printing to PDF? Perhaps there is a print driver issue Vim is running into for your real printer. Then you could print from the PDF.

It might also be an option to use :TOhtml first to create an html version of your file with syntax highlighting, and print from there.

Of course those are both a two-step process that can be annoying to deal with every single time.
