I'm looking at the printer setup dialog in Scribus right now. I want to print say 10 booklets. I already made sure where each page should go when it is folded. I want Scribus to print page 1-5 in order and then repeat that for how many copies I chose. Usually if 10 copies is chosen then the printer would print page 1 10 times then page 2 10 times and so on. Then I would need to take a page from each packet and assemble the booklet. That's why I want to print an entire booklet in order one after the other. ___ Scribus Mailing List: scribus@lists.scribus.net Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
