Free software to quickly put multiple images on same page for printing?

Say I have about 100 pictures that need to be printed, instead of printing each on their own page I want about 4 to a page. Is there a fast way to do this without lots of cutting and pasting into new images? Even something that just handled putting multiple images into one would be good. Thanks

My reaction to this would be to print every single one of them into a postscript file (perhaps using find and display) then psmerge them into a single file, then psnup them into 2x2 pages per page.

Failing that, I'd probably write a small Perl script to generate a latex source file that would include all the images in 2x2 format and use pdflatex on it.

EDIT: besides, convert -adjoin *.jpg output.ps might also do the trick.
I'm on a windows machine right now, but I'll be moving them to a linux machine for printing (I don't have a printer at home), so as far as I can tell I can't do that from here, may try it though.

Turns out using IrfanView's thumbnail viewer you can save multiple thumbnails as an image, and it didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.

Thanks, and if someone has any more ideas it may be helpful in the future :).
