Sigh...

Look at the PDF attachment. It is clearly printed 2-up, it is clearly an internet source, and it used kprinter to do it. A perfect fulfillment of what you described as your requirement in your first posting.

# I am not a programmer.

I am neiter. I am a documentation writer.

# No you are saying this would need a seperate programme.

Yes.

# But couldn't it work like this: There would be a pseudo-printer.

We could disguise that separate program as a pseudo-printer. (All the pseudo-printers in KDEPrint are/use separate programs.)

The features you described are huge. As I said, I would love to see a thing like this. But the problem is to find a developer who *likes* it too (*). Remember, OSS developers mainly work because they like what they work on. You can switch one onto another project by "ordre de mufti". [(*) or find one with the requested skills who does it for payment...]

# This pseuso-printer would keep this list of files until you decide to

I am thinking that this would best be implemented as a "PDF impositioning programm". I will see if some of the Scribus and/or kpdf developers might find this an interesting project to work on.

Dont hold your breath on it, though.

# If this is something sepate to wish, where would be a good place for that?

I do not know yet. I have to find out first. (If I had known, I had closed this wishlist item and asked you to go there and propose it again ;-)
