I was hoping to be able to write a sed script that takes a post script file and goes through and puts in the 2-up directive. 

2 Questions: 

1) Aandi says "Some output devices may be able to do this but that would be a special feature documented for that device only". Does that mean that 2 up happens at the printer driver level and not the post script level. Or are there obscure non-universal post script directives that achieve n-up? 

2) Helge suggests using Begin and EndPage to achieve this effect but I don't get much of a feel for how you would accomplish that. Can you provide a simple example of how to use these? 

Thanks, 

Rebecca
