the simple answer is:

if you have issues with printing from scribus just don't print with
scribus.

scribus is geared towards creating pdf for print and that's the
workflow that is best supported.

it's of course possible to get the printing to work with any setup but:

- it might require an effort that is too big for the task.
- by printing from scribus, you're using a different technology than the
  one you're using for creating the pdf you'll send to the print shop.
  this means that what you print is not really a preview of what you
  will be sending in for the production print.

no idea if anybody will volunteer to help you with this specific
issue... but, now, you have an alternative: create a pdf and print it!
that will just work.
