As of this writing (5 November 2006), FC6 has just recently been released, and some Scribus-related issues are present. The first thing you must do, of course, is to recompile Scribus under FC6. Alternatively, there is a much more up-to-date RPM (1.3.3.4) as part of the repository -- just 'yum install scribus'.

Printing 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.

If you use either the tar.gz or .rpm files for Adobe Reader 7.08, it will not work. The fix for this is to open '''<tt>/usr/bin/acroread</tt>''' as root (or with sudo) into a text editor (this will be a link to the "real" file, but nonetheless you will be editing the real one). There are two lines that need to be edited.


Look for this line, at about line number 418:

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
</pre>
and change to:
<pre>
echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
</pre>
''Note: you are adding an asterix in about the middle''


The other line is at about line number 643:
If you have KDE installed, you might try entering <tt>kprinter</tt> as an alternative, in which case kprinter will take care of the connection to CUPS.
<pre>
MIN_GTK_VERSION="240"

which needs to be changed to:
<pre>
MIN_GTK_VERSION="2040"
</pre>


Save the file, and you're done.

''Current versions of Adobe Reader do not have this issue, so printing from a PDF is not affected.''

With the release of FC6, some Scribus-related issues developed. Unfortunately, subsequent Fedora releases, up to the current F14, 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, i.e., simply not work.

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

or 

lpr -Pnameofprinter

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

Current versions of Adobe Reader do not have this issue, so printing from a PDF is not affected.
