In my case this seems not to be a question of versioning of AR but 
rather a collection of the right tools to work on the printed files.

The way I'm printing A4 pages on A3 sheets to be folded as a simple 
newspaper is this:

1. Make a pdf from your Scribus document (PDF 1.4 required)
2. Load the pdf into AR and let it print to kprinter using PS level 3

This will produce a file named print.ps for example.

Then in a shell I type

psbook print.ps printb.ps
psnup -2 -Pa4 -pa3 printb.ps printp.ps

I now have the A4 document spread on the A3 pages and will print the 
beast via

kprinter printp.ps

switching it to A3 portrait (!) and duplexing over the small edge


A long time ago someone here on the list gave me the tip with psbook and 
psnup. Maybe this is a way to do what you want? I recently saw that it 
should be possible to define a filter setting for kprinter to include 
the psbook and psnup programs.
