The problem with Inkscape is that the fonts don't print out at the size one would expect. They look fine on screen but not when printed out. I now save my Inkscape text on path to an eps file, then import it into Scribus. I have to resize it once it's in Scribus but at least it can be done on screen as opposed to "trial and error" on the printer.
