I seam to be having the same problem so i thought i'd add my experience. I'm currently using Scribus 1.3.3.3 running on Gentoo Linux (x86) Here's my (unfortunately not very reproducible) steps to create the problem: 1: Create new 24 page document, set up master pages etc, lay up a couple of pages of text 2: Export document as PDF to see how it looks so far - PDF Export works 3: layup more text 4: repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times (over a few days) 5: export again as PDF - PDF now contains 24 blank pages So somewhere along the line something went wrong with the document. Exporting in any format produces the same result (eps, png etc), and even print preview shows only blank pages. Opening the document using Scribus 1.3.3.9 on Windows produces the same result upon export. Opening a new document and exporting works fine, and it even works if i copy and paste the entire document into said new document (although this stuffs up the linked text frames - is that another bug?) So as i say, it looks like there's a problem with the saved document. I don't have time now to try to create some more reproducable steps, but i'll have a go later in the week. Does anyone have any experiments they'd like me to try? Also, i can upload an offending document if you wish |

The problem with Epson printers is known. Obviously Scribus uses the default parameters provided by CUPS wrongly. The workaround is to specify "lpr" or "kprinter" as alternate print command. chrisbaxter: please attach the offending *.sla to this bug. I really hope that this has a simple cause such as setting the current layer to "non printable"... |

> I really hope that this has a simple cause such as setting the current layer to "non printable"... Heh... oops. So is it possible to do this by accident? I was looking at my setup, and i don't have the layers dialog open (actually until i read this I didn't even know scribus supported layers). Oh well, most likely somebody opened it when they were subbing the magazine. Thanks for your help. I'll try to make sure my future bug reports are actually bugs :-) |

You know, we *do* place bugs into Scribus, you just need to try a little harder to find them! ;-) |

Sorry, this doesn't happen only with Epson printers, others are affected as well - see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/scribus/+bug/131442 I think this one should be still left open until either cups or Scribus itself can handle it better. Of course you'll do as you please :) |

Recent versions of CUPS in Ubuntu (Gutsy, Hardy....) have known multiple breakage, especially vs CMYK support and HP printers. See for eg. : https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/182379 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/138680 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/147369 This issue is at best a duplicate of 0005413. Closing again consequently |
