It's worth trying out what John suggests to see if this out of gamut 
situation still applies to an exported PDF with Printer selected (Output 
Intended for).

I think what's happened with profiles is that they have become more 
automatic, so perhaps this file selector in Preferences isn't used any 
more. Someone may correct me on this.

If this is true, then you need to make sure your profiles are where 
Scribus is looking for them -- that's where the online manual may be of 
assistance regarding the situation in Windows.
