I've tried exporting as EPS and PDF to print in other apps - Evince or Acroread - but exporting to those formats seems to mess up the SVG gradients, and exporting to another format just to print is a workaround, not a fix!

Actually it's not so much of a workaround, just the same action done differently. The only two methods of printing that Inkscape knows are: via Postscript or via bitmap. Postscript breaks transparency. Bitmap does not, but it may give huge files. Whether you do this directly by Print command or you export first and print the file later, the result is the same.
