If things were printing Ok before with the same version of Scribus, the 
problem may lie outside of Scribus, perhaps with CUPS. Check your 
settings in CUPS for you printer(s).

Are you printing directly from Scribus or from a PDF viewer?

I presume you've checked Print Preview to make sure that looks Ok.

You also might try using an alternative printer command:

lpr -Pyourprintername

There has been a problem in Fedora for the last several versions in 
which I have to use the alternative printer command, and I believe you 
can add offsets as needed. This doesn't apply to Adobe Reader.

A final thing to try might be the scribus-ng version to see if it does 
the same thing.
