[scribus] re washed out printout

[Terry Todd]

Am I the only one having this problem then?  I didn't do anything
outside the box when I installed it or started it up on either
FreeBSD or Windows XP.

Has anyone tried opening up the scribus-test.sla file at
http://74.93.73.41/scribus/
and tried printing it out on a local printer?

Does it work for you?

Thanks,
Terry Todd
