A new "virtual" printer driver called DynoPage from Portfolio Systems,
21 East Market St., Rhinebeck, NY 12572; phone (914)876-7744, allows you
to do this easily.  It supports many formats of printing one or more 
logical pages to one physical page.  Alledgedly, it works with any word
processor or application which knows how to print, but I have only tried 
it with TeachText and Microsoft Word 4.0.  Portfolio Systems also sells
special paper to work with DayRunner, DayTimer, PhiloFax, etc. at truly
exorbitant prices (Can you believe $20 per 100 sheets, or $100 per ream?).
It came with a demo version that can be redistributed, if anyone is 
interested.  The demo version prints a large add across every page,
usually blotting out some of your text.  Contact me for more details.
