Aligning pages when printing

Hi there folks,

I have a bit of a logical problem:
I want to print a little leaflet that is supposed to be A5, so that two pages always fit on one A4 page.
I used scribus to layout the whole thing, unfortunately scribus won't print, no idea why, so I export the file to pdf first.
When I print the stuff now, I get a lot of A5 sized pages CENTERED in the middle of my A4 paper, one page per sheet.
That was, of course NOT what I wanted, but I am rather clueless as to how to fix it..

Depending on you printer driver (I suppose) you should be able to print multiple pages per sheet, which should yield the result you want. Usually you can set this option in the printer properties within the printing dialog (at least in KDE).

Also, when using Acrobat Reader 8, there is an "multiple pages per sheet" option for the page scaling parameter in the printing dialog.
