[Scribus] Problem knowing how to print a 3 fold leaflet

[Peter Cavender]

Please post the instructions, or send me a copy of the email.

I joined the scribus mailing list 2 days ago beacuse I was facing exactly 
the same problem, and was amused somebody else asked the question before I 
could post it.

I am a little puzzled why the software works as it does, because most 
people who print a 3-fold brochure want one output file for each side of 
the actual paper, not 3 separate ones that need to be then imposed.

Thanks
