Hi Nigel, > How do I set up Scribus to print a 20 page small booklet (A4 paper but A5 > page > size) so that I can print it on my home printer and have, for example, page > #6 on > the same (opposite side) piece of A4 paper as page #15 with pages #5 and #16 > on > the 'back' (double side printing)? > Is that clear? > > Blessings, > > Nigel >
Is it on Linux? I use ghostscript functions for it on my Linux system (don't know if it works the same on a Windows ghostscript). Scribus doesn't support this by itself (not yet). In my case, it's A4 pages on A3 paper. The documents just have ordinary A4 pages all in a row. To avoid any printing problems, I have the document made to a PDF first and then use Adobe Reader to print a postscript file from it. This postscript file (let's call it test.ps) will then be made up. First step: sort pages psbook test.ps test2.ps This will sort all pages so they appear at the right positions when printed 2-sided. Second step: make A4 (portrait) pages fit to A3 paper (landscape) psnup -2 -Pa4 -pa3 print2.ps print3.ps Now with kprinter, I send this to my printer, setting it to A3 portrait(!) and duplexed over the smaller edge. I think this should run in your case, too. Just read the man pages for psnup and psbook. Hope it helps! Rolf
