<pre wrap="">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

<em>Psbook</em>
rearranges pages from a PostScript document into ``signatures'' for
printing books or booklets, creating a new PostScript file. The
input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring
Conventions.
<p>The <kbd>-s</kbd>
option selects the size of signature which will be used. The signature
size is
the number of sides which will be folded and bound together; the number
given
should be a multiple of four. The default is to use one signature for
the
whole file. Extra blank sides will be added if the file does not
contain a
multiple of four pages.
</p>
<p>Psbook normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the
<kbd>-q</kbd> option suppresses this.<br>
</p>
<p>perhaps try psbook -s4 ?<br>
also, can you look at the output of psbook in a previewer to see if
it's that or the lpr duplex option that flips things upside down<br>
