	I've had a similar experience with psnup and mp (a similar program).  
dvips embeds the showpage operator in a function called showsheet. psnup an mp 
seem to get confused by this and print only one page. I ran the ouput in
GhostScript
and saw that evryone of 300 pages was overlayed upon  one sheet. I
haven't 
come up with a work-around, so if anyone else know of a fix, I'm also
interested.
