I also have this problem. 

We work with small sized magazines and want to print the pages on a larger 
size for review.

I can't find a way to have Scribus generating the postscript with an 
appropriate page size.

Since it allways uses the printer page size (A4), and the document page is 
small, we get a huge white area on the postscript output, so we can't rescale 
the actual content (with kprinter or lpr -o fitplot) on an A4.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Gustavo
