My windows HP drivers allow me to take whatever page is printed and mux it so it prints 4 pages on page of paper. This is pretty handy for printing out long text files. 4x pages per page double sided really saves a lot of paper. Is this possible with CUPS? Any way I can conserve some paper?
Don't know whether CUPS can do it automatically, but you can send the Postscript file first through mpage. Use
mpage -4 FILE | lpr
another option is lp -o number-up=4 -o prittyprint <filename>
I haven't ever used mpage, so it may be nicer, but the above works. There are several other options you may be interested in. take a look at the lp man page.
have fun!
