Hopefully you have a recent Ghostscript. Try checking Alternative Print Command in the Print dialog, then putting in the box below something like lp -dprintername or lpr -Pprintername where printername is the name you assigned to your printer. If that doesn't work, try printing to a PS file (in Print Destination look for File) and see if you can view that to make sure Scribus is generating a good PS file for printing. Greg
