Hi! I need help, and I'm at my wit's end. I'm trying to use scribus to
print tickets.
I have 4 tickets per page, with 8 named text boxes. I want to stuff a
ticket number into the two boxes for a ticket (one on ticket, one on
'stub'), then do the same for the remaining three tickets. I have this
working.
Rather than create hundreds of pages in a document, or hundreds of
documents, I thought I'd simply print the page, then increment my
counter by 4, repopulate the named text boxes, and print the page
again...but I cannot figure out how to get the document to print!
I found docs on the "Printer" object on the Scribus web site, but
there's no info on how you actually use it. None of the examples shows
how it's used. I even googled for 'allinurl: scribus .py' and spent a
bit of time reading arbitrary scripts :-)
Does someone have a trivial example of how to print the current document?
I would be hugely grateful. This is for the local Historical Society,
and I'm late in getting the tickets printed now :-/
Many thanks!
