Hi list, 
 
just experimented a bit with kghostview and tried to figure out my 
problem. didn't solved it, but made some observations: 
 
printing a document with 2 pages per sheet, configured at the properites 
dialog of kprinter using the following command works: 
kprinter <filename.pdf> 
this brings up the kprinter dialog, i configure as always, and i get 
sheets of papers out of the printer with two or more pages per sheet. 
 
using kghostview <filename.pdf> to watch the pdf file and then using the 
printer button to print it out also shows up the kprinter dialog. if i 
activate the preview button, the preview shows only one page per sheet, 
not two as it should be. If I have a 6 pages pdf file, i get 6 empty pages 
out of the printer, not 3 as it should be. 
 
 
kind regards 
lars
