Hi, First it looks like you have the obsolete version of Scribus shipped with Feisty. Please update with instructions here:http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Getting_Scribus_on_Ubuntu/Kubuntu_up_and_running http://debian.scribus.net and some strongly recommended hints here: Next, forget about color management and try exporting PDF with the 'Screen/Web' option and then print from Acrobat Reader - not Evince. This kinf of inkjet printer is an 'RGB' device and expects RGB data, not CMYK. The driver and printer internals handle the conversion. Hope that helps, Peter
