please go to util_printer.cpp and check the conditions for using (or 
not) line 61.

if you just delete all the printing related lines in the cmake files, i 
guess taht you're going for the default, which is (i guess) CUPS.

if there is a way to turn off printing, use it, otherwise, yes, the best 
way is to add a haiku section and try to find out how to use the native 
haiku printing sub system.

i can't say much more, since i don't know much about the scribus print 
code (except the fact that i would not be unhappy if all the printing 
part would be removed and only the PDF workflow would survive... not 
without a way to use an external tool to "silently" print the generated 
pdf...)
