It would be easier to help if we knew what you're actually trying to do/achieve. Are you trying to operate a printing machine from within Scribus? Which PS printer driver do you have installed? If it's not Adobe's generic PS printer driver, which one is it?. Does this driver show up in Acrobat, and did you actually select it? There are so many unknown parameters that it's hard to answer your questions.
