Catching up on the back log of mail...

I have extensive experience with RIP'ing Scribus PDF's, EPS and direct PS 
print with a fairly new Fiery RIP using the Adobe Extreme engine. It has a 
3015.xxx level PS engine. Never an issue.. The one which I thought was a 
Scribus problem was a CUPS issue with duplexing fixed with rewritten code in 
CUPS 1.2

Other printers who are on the list have reported similar findings.

You might check to see if Fiery has an update to their software, as well as 
check the PS level of the RIP.

Cheers,

Peter
