what would be the best way to create documents with a4 paper size and print them as booklets on a3 ?
is this possible at all ?

the original document consists of a4 paper size pages, it is printed on a3 paper as a booklet so that size of the resulting pages is a4.

i tried brochure printing, but it sort of prints four pages per real page, but i would like only two of them...

Rich,
Yes.

Set your paper size to A3 and Orientation to Landscape.

oh. turns out i have to manually set page to landscape ;)
when i did that, printout came just as expected on a4 paper.

i hope to test it some time later on a3 this way.

and thanks to grs for a pointing to user guide where brochure description helped me to better undrestand this functionality :)

if manual page setting to landscape in printer settings is intended, maybe this could be added to userguide ? (i tried printing with m130 as this functionality will be used with 2.0)

File > Print > Options
Under Pages check Brochure and either Left pages or Right pages.
I don't know anything about duplex printing (i.e. printing on both sides of the page in one operation).

just tried that - works as a charm if you set duplex to short edge.
even works fine if i set, for example, to print pages 1-2 and 5-6 so that inner page is a single one.

You might have to do a couple of test print-outs to check whether you need to print your "left" or "right" pages in reverse order.

a3 printer is not double sided, so i'll have to test that, but i think that is manageable :)

Have fun :-)

Jeff
