I couldn't figure out a way to print tickets from Scribus. I needed 1200 numbered tickets printed so I designed the ticket in Scribus, exported it as a png file, then imported it into glabels. I also created a number database and formatted it the way I wanted it to appear on the ticket (000100, etc.). I imported that into glabels also where I was able to print out 8 tickets per page. It worked out nicely. If someone has an easier way to do this all from Scribus, let me know. Wayne Scribus 1.3.3.9
