Can you try this: First the EPS. There are two ways this can go wrong. I have always the feeling that Scribus uses the bitmap included in the EPS. Create it with a good resolution. Then, in the dialog to create the PDF is a field in which you set the actual resolution of the EPS. Set it to at the least the printer's resolution. You can also embed the EPS file. It is also a good idea to outline the fonts. Especially when moving the file across machines. That the file is not printed in landscape should be a problem of the PDF viewer or printer driver. You have to check there.
