Please turn on debug logging in CUPS and try again. I expect to see a 
GhostScript error, but it could be something else.

It could be, but it could also be newer Scribus versions generating 
PostScript output that CUPS chokes on, where older versions do not. 
lprng would pass the PostScript through unprocessed or use different 
filters which might not hit the problem.

We can't write this report off without investigation.

Yep. Check if GSView can handle it, for example. If you don't have 
GSView, it's time to get it. `gv' and `ghostview' are not acceptable 
alternatives.

Unfortunately even if you can view it OK it proves little, since (a) it 
won't have been generated with the PPD and CUPS settings used to 
generate the real print job, and (b) there's no guarantee that cups is 
using the same gs version and variant as gsview. Still, it's better than 
nothing.
