This is not a Scipad bug. It is a Scilab 5 bug.

Proof: put your code:

> n = 5;
> printf("\n%d! est égal à %d",n,factorial(n))

in a file printfbug.sce and then from Scilab:

-->exec "printfbug.sce";

5! est égal à %d
-->

Well, you have just found a regression in Scilab 5 that does not 
happen with Scicoslab.
