It's hard to believe this is a scribus problem. More likely a settings 
problem. CUPS and LPR (the old LPRng) are alternatives. If your system 
responds to 'lpr' it may be transferring this to CUPS, but maybe not. 
Using 'lp' is the more /proper/ syntax for CUPS, according to what I 
read when I switched to CUPS. You might try setting the command in the 
Scribus printer dialogue to '/usr/bin/lp', which on my FC4 ends up 
eventually linking to '/usr/bin/lp.cups', to see what happens (on mine, 
'lpr' links to '/usr/bin/lpr.cups').
Next thing might be to have Scribus print to a PS file, and see if you 
can print that file outside of Scribus.
