>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? 

Both.  Some printer drivers attempt to n-up, though this is not always
successful.  Some printers have obscure non-universal directives to
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? 

It isn't simple...  at least, I seem to recall trying this and getting
bogged down in details. Long time ago, though.
