psnup -4 user-guide.ps test.ps

worked fine for me. The problem may be that line in the man page that states :
The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring 
Conventions.

I know a tiny bit of PostScript, and I believe that means that the file
must contain some global info like :
%%Pages: 21
%%Page: 2 2
%%BeginPageSetup
stuff....
%%EndPageSetup
more stuff....
%%PageTrailer
etc etc etc
