It's good when that happens :-)

Eeep!

I've noticed this when using Cups, but then I expect that I need other
print command as I'm directing through kprinter --stdin.

To make this simpler to trace, open a terminal window and launch scribus
from there. Load a doc, press print and then attempt to print. Report
back here with what the terminal window reports. It will help one of us
to track the bug and fix it.
