[scribus] guides can be printed?

Hi again to the list,

we are using several installations of Scribus 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 in our office.

Now for training and for creating internal documentation (style-sheets
for our team) we came across this question:

How can we print the "guides" (English) or "reperes" (French), please?

I tried several tricks and looked at document and printing options and
could not do it, apart from creating manual dotted lines...


In Corel Draw such guided are managed by way of their layer-structure.
So I can easily select to show/not-show and print/not-print them all
together. (Not meant as criticism, just input about a feature I have
used for years.)

Obviously Scribus does have its own way of showing and managing the
guides, so please help if you have an idea. I believe that those guides
would be useful in print whenever there is training or documentation
involved, this could be useful to other users too.

I tried looking into the xml document structure: Could I use the
VerticalGuides information to create "normal" vertical lines (which
would print)? I did some testing, but it seems that guides and lines are
using different units in the xml so creating lines (by text-macro or
something) feels like not-trivial.

thanks a lot for ideas,

Martin
