Abiword and Images

Team,
    I recently installed Xubuntu on my old PC: it's mainly used by my
wife for emails, and my daughter for emails, msn and writing docs.
She started using AbiWord and she is happy with it: quite better and
quicker then the old version of MS Word she had under WinME on the same
system.
Everything was perfect, until she asked me to insert a picture (a jpeg
image) into the file:
- the file size increased with no reason
- it takes ages to do everything
- when you print, black into the image is not printed at all (the est of
the printing is perfect).

Some more details (may be some are missed, I'm quite new of Linux world):
- System Processor is Celeron 400
- Operating System is Xubuntu 6.06.01 (Linux Kernel 2.6.15.26 and Xfce
4.3.90.3)
- AbiWord version is 2.4.4

About the file we were working with:
- file size before image merging (only formatted text): 30kB
- image size (jpeg format): 450kB
- file size after the image was merged: 4.4.MB
- file size after the image was merged, saved as .rtf: 6.5MB

Printer is a Canon Bjc3000, installed and managed by CUPS (driver is
Canon S400 Foomatic/S400a1.upp

Btw, I've tried printing to .pdf and then printing the .pdf /got/: same
result, although Evince shows everything perfect.

Haven't seen these problems between bugs (although several printing
problems are listed), so may be it's just something solved, already.
Can you provide some help, please ?

Thanks in advance.
Giancarlo.
