Bug Description
Binary package hint: scribus
I have recently installed the latest version of Ubuntu 10.04LTS to update the operating system on my computer from the previous version. At the same time, I also updated the version of Scribus to 1.3.3.13svn. Since then I have had 2 problems with printing from Scribus:
1. Not all the information on the Scribus page is printed - I am losing the top 2 cm of text, presumably because Ubuntu has pre-set margins for the printer? I can find nothing in the Ubuntu set-up that will allow me to re-set the top margin. I need the top margin to be close to the top edge of the page because it is a publishing programme, and need to be able to use all the space on the page.
2. When I print a single page, 4 pages are processed by the printer instead of one, with the last 3 pages being blank. This is despite the setting of copies at '1'.
My printer is a Brother MFC-7420.
I had none of these problems with the previous version of both Ubuntu or Scribus. I hope you can help.
