First of all, thanks for your answer on- or offlists. As some of you asked me, I precise that I work under Debian AMD 64 (SID). I work with the packaged version for Ubuntu of scribus-ng (64bits arch), and ICC-Profiles coming from Debian AMD64 repository (I should verify that, I'm not so sure).

In fact, I don't want to work with the printer agency which I named in my first mail, cause they're quite bad, etc., but as they're just next to my house, I just want them to print the proof.
