    There are several utilities I know of do this.  There are two of them that 
I use.  

    One is 'mpage', a 'c' program that does 1, 2, 4, and 8up printing with 
a number of options.  It handles text and postscript and is available from 
your favorite comp.sources.misc archive.

    The second is a perl script called 'up'.  I've done a major hack on it to
correct some logic errors.  Its major strong point, is its programability..
With a little understanding of the code, you can write your own option.  I 
currently have it supporting 1up, 2up, 4up, 4up - landscape, greeting card, 
6up, 8up, 9up, 10up, 12up, 16up,  spiral and reverse spiral.  Its weekness
is not understanding text.  It is a postscript only 'n-up' program, and that 
it requires Perl running on your machine.
