The main printer I am using is a Xerox Phaser 8560 with 4 solid ink CMYK colors. At first I though the problem might be with the printer. That's why I tried a totally different printer. Same result. I tried a Windows XP instead of FreeBSD and same result.
The problem seems to be all pointing at Scribus. Terry Todd On Thu, May 08, 2008 at 08:10:26AM -0700, S B wrote: > Interesting you should say that.
