My software is the same (not qcad, but lack of function).
The stupid thing has "panelizing" feature, meaning it can multiply a PCB  
so you can make several on one board, but it can't like print top and  
bottom side by side.

Solution: export to bitmap at printer resolution and fit together with a  
image editing software.

It is not necessarily easier to have it on one sheet, at all, i have  
found, i usually cut them apart anyway for alignment
