[STR New]

Cups should support the "natural" division 8 for number-up printing.

Especially in DIN A#, the powers of two can be put on a single sheet
without "wasting" space, so 2, 4, 8, 16 all fit without changing the
aspect ratio.

Is there a compelling reason why there is 6 an 9up printing, but not 8-up?

If you can fit 6 A4 pages on one A4 page, you can fit 8 with the very same
scaling..
