what i see in your screenshot looks like a file imported in a document of different page orientation and size.
is this really what you get by opening the template without an open file?

Hi all

I have just installed a new HP Laserjet printer: HP MFC M479dw.
This was to replace a previous HP Laserjet which died.

I could print with no problems in Scribus using the previous Laserjet. 
This was a different model.
I was printing using the PDF option in the File | Print section (can't remember)?


However when I try printing in Sribus with the new LJ:
- I get a brief message saying "printing" on the LJ's panel (this is normal)
- Nothing prints out.
- No error messages or other issues are given by the printer.
- The Log indicates that the job has been completed

I can print with other applications (e.g. LibreOffice) to the same printer queue so the printer configuration appears to be correct.
E.g. LibreOffice & Scribus are printing using the PDF option in the File | Print menu options.

I can't see any obvious problems in the various Printer options.

CUPS tells me that the driver is "HP Color LaserJet Pro M479 Postscript".
I have also tried printing with the Postscript options (e.g. Postscript Level 3).
No luck.

I have also upgraded HPLIP to the latest version just in case.
I am printing to the new printer's queue in case this is not clear.

Any ideas please?

Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi. In development / feature.  ...recently the multipage feature was implemented in inkscape. It doesn't make sense to me. Resource type for desktop publishing programs. Example: Scribus.

I tried a.l.e procedure:
- let's say we are working on a scribus document "main.sla"
- want to add the "add.pdf" -> file open and select our pdf file "add.pdf"
- within scribus a new "window" is opened now we are editing add.pdf imported in scribus
- here we will save it as "add.sla" and we can also close it to go back to previous document "main.sla"
- here it is possible to import pages: page - import and select "add.sla" file, we can also choose all pages or just the ones we need.
- finally we can also delete "add.sla" if we don't need it anymore

Now, ok it's a better solution compared to my first attempt, in that case I had also to create new pages for pasted pdf pages. This said, also this procedure seems just a workaround to buffer a useful missed feature...

Wouldn't it a good feature to be considered for next Scribus versions?
Where can it be requested?

When you export as PDF pages as images, vector elements will be degraded, maybe just a bit.
Anyway in the same time you open gimp and load PDF file, I directly load PDF in a new Scribus window and drag it within the main Scribus document.
I could also make my Scribus document, export to PDF and then add the other PDF file by using pdftk, for instance:

pdftk maindoc.pdf add.pdf cat output finaldoc.pdf

The above will append the PDF to main document. It could be also prepended or even inserted after a specified page...

Anyway would be useful a feature to add a whole multipage PDF within an other Scribus document, without needing to invent any workaround.

I'd load the .PDF into GIMP and export as Images then use them in a background layer :)

Scribus saves files in xml format (.sla), so you can open sla file in text editor (I prefer notepad++) and change VAlign from 0 to 1 in dates PAGEOBJECT parent elements.
Backup before editing.
