I was thinking in some UNIX way to do so, like:

1. converting the 10 jpeg to 10 .eps files
2. running psmerge to bring the 10 EPS files into one PS file
3. running psnup to get the 10 pages re-arranged, 2 on one page;

but psmerge does not produce something usefull;

I don't know if my printer has such options or if I can get access to
such stand-alone functions; it is our central printer and managed by IT;
