You must be the 1st person here who need to reduce an image for print. Usually people discover that they underestimated the image size required for print.... Normally, if your image is bigger it is not a problem and will be scaled properly for print in the print driver. Another possibility is to use Image>Print size, that changes the print definition of the image without changing the pixels size (so your image stays the same, it just prints bigger/smaller).
As soon as a text layer is altered it becomes a plain bitmap layer. If you want so scale the image and not lose text sharpness:
1) for each text layer, creates the corresponding path (Layer>Text to path)
2) Scale the image which will scale the path (but these being path, they don't get blurred)
3) for each text layer, delete the layer and rebuild one using the path (Path to selection, bucket-fill selection)
Of course, you don't get font hinting that way.
