I was thinking in some UNIX way to do so, like: 1. converting the 10 jpeg to 10 .eps files 2. running psmerge to bring the 10 EPS files into one PS file 3. running psnup to get the 10 pages re-arranged, 2 on one page; but psmerge does not produce something usefull; I don't know if my printer has such options or if I can get access to such stand-alone functions; it is our central printer and managed by IT; matthias -- Matthias Apitz e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ UNIX since V7 on PDP-11, UNIX on mainframe since ESER 1055 (IBM /370) UNIX on x86 since SVR4.2 UnixWare 2.1.2, FreeBSD since 2.2.5
