Ever since I started using version 1.5.6.1 I haven't been able to print the pdf files it produces. It hangs the Fiery. The only way I can print is to rasterize the pdf using PDF X-Change before printing, effectively doing what the RIP is supposed to do.
I suggest posting your finding into the bug tracker so that the dev. team can look/comment on it.

Just curious if you tried opening the file with something like Adobe Acrobat - and do a preflight to see if it shows any errors?
Well, I use Linux and don't have Acrobat, but none of my pdf tools have any problem with the Scribus-exported pdf files.

Could you share a pdf file that does not work? I have a Fiery RIP and I would like to try printing it, just to confirm. I have no problems with pdf files produced with 1.5.5.
Cheers!
