I use a shareware program called 4PRINT.  It will not print 4 pages
to a side, but will print 2 pages to a side.  It will also let
you print on both sides of the paper.  Besides ASCII, it can also
interpret WordStar formatting commands (if I remember correctly).

You can find it at SIMTEL20 and it's mirror sites.  At oak.oakland.edu
it is in the directory /pub/msdos/laser as 4print41.zip
