Hello,

I wonder if there's an app for Linux with which I could print one picture on multiple sheets of paper, for instance on 4 A4 sheets and then arrange them together to look like one big A2?

TIA,
J.

The only thing I've seen in portage is the "poster" ebuild. Reading the homepage, it looks like you would just need to somehow convert your image into a postscript file, then poster can do the rest. Perhaps imagemagick can convert the image for you? I don't know for sure as I haven't tried it.

Thanks a lot, this is just the thing I was looking for. I don't know how it was possible that I overlooked it.

Post back with results after you've used it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know how it worked and the steps you took to convert your images.
