With the release of FC6, some Scribus-related issues developed. Unfortunately, Fedora 7, 8, and 9 continue to have this direct printing problem. Follow the instructions below. Occasionally, we have heard of similar problems with other Linux distros.
Printing
Printing directly from Scribus may be broken, if you use the same method and settings from FC5. It seems to generate an error message and no output.
The fix for this is to check the box for Alternative Printing Command then in the Command text box enter
lp -dname-of-your-printer
For example, for my printer named "laser", I entered
lp -dlaser
There can, but doesn't have to be, a space between -d and laser.
If you have KDE installed, you might try entering kprinter as an alternative, in which case kprinter will take care of the connection to CUPS.
Adobe Reader
If you upgrade to Adobe Reader 8.x, it seems that some problems have been resolved, for Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, and FC8. Therefore, be sure to use an up-to-date Adobe Reader.
