   I already played with this sometime ago, but now I'm short of ink
   and I would like to avoid many printouts.

Unfortunately, other than good guesswork, you're not going to be able
to avoid this.  Rather than printing a whole page, you can probably do
it with much smaller prints.  When I'm doing this, I usually print at
20% size, which lets me get 25 or 30 small images (5 or 6 rows) on one
sheet of paper.  Then I'll print larger when I want to verify the
output.
