This is *not* a Scribus bug. You should complain to your distro / CUPS /
GutenPrint
to get this fixed. GhostScript has no problem at all to produce an RGB
bitmap instead
of a CMYK one if instructed so. Your print system just messes up (and not
making the
fatal Gutenprint message visible to the end user is a bug in itself in my
opinion)
