Booklet printing

Post by tannoz »

Hello,

I'd like to print a document as a "booklet", and did not find a way to do so in the Turboprint settings. Is there a way ?

Best regards,
Yann

Hello,

no such function is included within the TurboPrint driver.

However there are several possibilities:

- using the "brochure" function of OpenOffice - see e.g.

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wik ... a_brochure

- creating a postscript file and reformatting using the command line tool "psbook" from the package "pstools"

- using the n-up function of the cups printing system which can be configured in TurboPrint Control Center (and also in the print dialog of many applications). This doesn't create real books but lets you print several pages onto one sheet.

If you use Indesign it's included in the software.

Another very good idea is to use Cocoa Booklet with a PDF.
Seemless. It's free to download.

Thanks for the hint!

However, please note: This part of the forum is for our Linux software "TurboPrint" - Cocoa booklet is only available for Mac OS X.
