I would add in a problem which I ran into.
Scribus (excellent package) will not print correctly and the only way 
round this was to export as pdf and then print from that.
But, then the pdf was a problem and we had to use Document Viewer and 
then all was well.
When researching this problem I found that Scribus was more advanced 
than the other applications on the Linux platform (?)

So the question, Gavin, is, how did you generate the pdf?
