Summary0006596: Only PS options exist on printing tab
DescriptionI have a raster printer so I cannot send my Scribus document directly to the printer. It won't print.
Only PS level 1-3 can be found. I noticed Kpdf has a additional option on its printing section "Force Rasterisation". The program rasterizes the material and send it to the printer afterwards.
Scribus has no option like this, so I have to write PDF first, then open it in Kpdf so I would print it.
I hope and trust this option will be in the next release for us. Thanks.

Sorry, probably not, the goal of next release is not to add new features, but mainly port Scribus to the Qt4 library and fix as much 1.3.4 bugs as possible

Use a custom printer command of kprinter and send it through that way. Then you should not need to print via PDF. We will not have a rasteriser in Scribus for awhile.
