[Scribus] First time user printing problems

Hello,
My company had a graphic artist who used to produce a newsletter for us
using InDesign on a Mac OSX computer. He has left the company and the
duty of producing the newsletter has been given to someone in a
different department. This person does not have access to the Mac
computer nor does she have InDesign installed on her Windows PC. She
told me that she had some experience using Pagemaker in the past so I
decided I would let her have a try at using Scribus. We installed
Scribus 1.3.3.9 on her Windows 2000 SP4 PC.
She has been able to produce a newsletter that looks fine on screen but
when she tries to print it she has all sorts of problems. I don't know
whether the problems are a result of the way she created the document or
the way that she has Scribus configured on her PC. I suspect it's a
combination of both.
The problems include colors not appearing as expected, content not
properly positioned on the page, and text appearing blurred like
double-vision.
I'd like to start with the Scribus configuration to see if I'm missing
something. We are trying to print to a Toshiba eStudio 3100C. It's a
color laser printer/copier with an EFI fiery unit installed. We
installed the drivers directly onto her PC. There are postscript and PCL
drivers installed. Should we be using color management? When we try
that, no printer specific profiles appear in any of the option boxes.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
