Looking at 
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph_graph.en.html:

GPRINT:vname:format
     This is the same as PRINT, but printed inside the graph.

Maybe its not wrong, but misleading. I'm not really sure how to solve the 
problem. I'd like to be able to print the current value in the GPRINT. 
Suggestions?

Sure...but how? ;)
