Whitfield.<br>><br>><br>Ian,<br>I have never been able to print directly from my Ubuntu installation. It<br>appears it would print if I had an Postscript printer but I don't have one.<br>Therefore, I have to export to a pdf and then print the pdf externally to<br>Scribus. Let me know if you have been able to print from your Linux distro<br>in the past.<br>-- <br>John Ghormley KJ4UFG<br>Editor, SERA *Repeater Journal*<br>Walkertown, NC USA<br><a href="compose?to=editor@sera.org">editor@sera.org</a><br><br>---------------------<br>Ian, John:<br><br>I am not sure why you would even want to print directly from Scribus. For me, at least, the whole purpose of using Scribus is to do a layout in order to create a PDF document for printing (in my case, usually at a photo copy centre). If I am at an intermediate stage in creating a document and want to see how it would look on paper, I just create a temporary PDF. If printing
directly from Scribus "worked" (and I don't know whether it does or not on my version, 1.4.0.rc4 on Kubuntu 11.04) worked, I probably would not use it as I wouldn't trust it to look exactly like the PDF file I would eventually want to create.<br><br>Murray<br></td></tr></table>
