From a user perspective, I would try re-saving the TIFF file from the original app. For some reason, this file makes Scribus "hang" when it shouldn't. Could also be a network related issue. Did you try having your TIFF file in an Image folder near your Scribus file? or is it on a remote server? HTH Louis >Does anyone know what's holding up the parade when printing the back of my >flyer?
