1) It is odd that I can change N-up in the printer config dialog, but not in the CUPS web interface, or even in the print dialogue! 2) I still think that OOo should have N-up printing baked right in from the start. That would be consistent with an application who's primary design goal is to

Depending on how many pages in the document, and how you want their sequence, perhaps the brochure options may suit. Print to PDF (not export), by selecting Landscape as the printer settings, and select Brochure in the print options. That might work. My current need is to print the second

In that case, perhaps delete pages 1 and 3 (making a backup, of course!), and duplicate your page 2 so you have two A4 pages of that, then print that as a brochure. You should then get two pages per sheet. Actually, that is what I did when using Abode Reader (which supports N-up printing) as
