I see other answers, but....I did this last year (with much help from this list), and again this year. Wiki page is at http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Printing_4-up_tickets_to_hard_copy_printer
I did have to change the Scribus script this year, just a bit (had some trouble, but I can't remember details, as I write this). In other words, the wiki page may or may not work for you; depends on which version of Scribus you are using, I suspect. Ping me if you want to work out 'kinks'. /Bill Frank Cox related the following on 08/01/2008 01:30 PM: > I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get numbers on tickets and it > looks > to me like the closest Scribus comes to this is automatic page numbering, > which > doesn't get me where I'm going. > > We're creating tickets for the Creek FM "50,000 Watts of Pow Wow Power!"
