Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-03-13 01:30:29 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

This has been reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=303629

please offer an option to print frames around multiple pages on one
sheet. That would make it easier to distinguish between those pages.
Thanks for considering.

Reassigning from kpdf to kdeprint, as it's more a KDE Printing feature than a KPDF specific one.

You can get what you want already now. (This bug report is not valid).


There are different ways to do it. I'll just mention one:

 * once you selected the printer in the print dialog, click "Properties"
 * select the rightmost tab, "Filters"
 * click the "funnel" icon ("Add Filter")
 * select "Multiple Pages per Sheet Filter", click "OK"
 * highlight the line naming the filter
 * click the "wrench" icon ("Fonfigure Filter")
 * select how many pages per sheet you want
 * select the border line width you want 
 * select if you want additional margins
 * click "OK", "OK", "Preview", "Print"

Done!

You can even setup one or more separate "instances" of your printer that do different things. That spares you repeating all the above clicks every time you need such a type of printout. Just select the printer instance, and be done.

For more details about setting up printer instances, see also the end of the threat here: bug 82123 .

As said before, this feature is already available through KDEPrint's interface.
