I don't have my Mac in front of me (I can't remember if this option exists on the mac without looking it up), but can you check "Ignore Margins for N-up Printing" In the print dialog?

Good one.
(Obviously, that should have been "turn the *paper* around... )
However, as it turns out, the technique I describe doesn't actually
work. At least, I can't get it to work. Because the printer is
expecting 12x17 paper instead of 12x18 paper, it adds an extra inch to
the left-hand (12") margin, even when you're just printing one 9x12
Finale page at a time. Also, the duplex unit doesn't work with 12"
wide pages. It's becoming apparent that while it might be
theoretically possible to the Ricoh AP2610 to do 2-up 9x12 pages on a
12x18 sheet, it's *way* more trouble than its worth. (Unless there's
some sort of trick I'm overlooking.)
I'm glad I got the trimmer and music taping machine, because it seems
that 12x18 booklets just aren't going to happen with this printer. I'm
going to be doing either 11x17 booklets or 9x12 taped parts, depending
on the project.
By the way, that 25" Carl rotary trimmer is the shiznit. I forget who
recommended it, but it's great.

Good to know -- I haven't even looked at Finale Script yet, though. I
was planning on figuring out the (11x17) booklet page order the
old-fashioned way.
