StarOffice 7.0 retains the "options" tab on the print dialog that lets you select "Brochure" printing. I formatted pages 5.5 width x 8.5 height, "landscape", .5" L&R margins, 1" top margin, 0.5" bottom margin with 0.3" separation from 0.2" footer (for page number). Then selected print, selected duplex on (HP laserjet 5), "short-edge binding", landscape orientation, then options -> Brochure and got front and back printing of a 12-page brochure in correct order to fold in center and staple to make a booklet. It might be difficult to do this if your printer can't do duplex, but you might be able to use manual feed.
