[scribus] re washed out printout

[S B]

Interesting you should say that.  I use HP inkjets as well, and I also use a
Xerox Phaser (solid ink); the Xerox prints exactly what's on screen, my one
inkjet does not, and the other is as yet untested; I don't think it's
something wrong with the printer, because everything else prints fine.  The
"color management" suggestion is one I'll try, but all I can say is,
"What?" when it happens (grays are pink, yellows are some weird shade of
gray, etc.); it's almost as if I had given my printer too much to drink, and
that's how it's seeing things. Now what's truly funny is that MS Publisher
files print fine.  That IS weird.
