[FM Discuss] booklet printing

[adam hyde]

hey

if you use CUPS (linux printer drivers) with psbook installed, then this
will produce 2 a5 on an a4 sheet for duplex printing which is
theoretically good for cutting and binding:
pdftops Desktop/bookiuserguide-en-2010.11.10-16.51.04.pdf - | psbook |
lpr -o number-up=2 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge 

except that the second page is always upside down. as i understand it
the long-edge should solve this but im having wonky driver issues i
think, either that or the orientation is forcing the wrong type of
duplex printing...hmmm
