I know enough about Postscript to suspect this could be done with a prefix
file, and possibly a one-pass script to rewrite the  showpage  if there's
no way to redefine it.  I don't know enough to write such a thing.

If someone has these things, I too would like a copy.

    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.

I have ps format documents I want to print twosided on a DEC Printserver
20. The printer is configured to do 1 side printing when printer name
is ps and twoside when jobs are submitted to ps-2s. The result is the
same - one page per sheet. I need a filter but where can I find it. I
have mpage, which I think I'll use too, but it doesn't seem to solve
my problem.

Thanks,
