Some people asked for printing even (and odd) pages. Well, there is a
formidable set of psfunctions on the archives, one of them called
"psselect", which I use almost always to save paper . . .
sonata.cc.purdue.edu:pub/next/submissions/quarto.{c,README}
quarto -p even ... | lpr
use: quarto [-[234689]] [-p <pages>] [-bcdlr] [-g #] [PS file]
Select pages from a PostScript file, and print in a tiled format.
(The input must contain EPS-like directives '%%Page:...')
-p... print the given pages; e.g., '-p1,2,4-8,12-'
'-p -4' prints through page four;
'-p 12-' prints from page 12 through the end;
numbers are original ordinal page numbers, starting at 1
also, '-p even', '-p odd', '-p1-4,1-4,1-4,1-4' etc.
'blank' inserts a blank page; 'all' inserts all the pages
-2 print 2 tiled, shrunken pages per page;
# may be 2,3,4,6,8 or 9 (default 1);
portrait or landscape layout will be chosen accordingly.
-b don't print borders around each tiled page.
-c print cut-marks for each tiled page.
-d overlay a test pattern on the page.
(a box around the paper sheet border,
and a circle and cross in the middle;
intended to help calibrate for different printers)
-g # set the gap between tiles to # (12.000000)
-l list the pages+offsets (don't output any PostScript).
-r reverse the page order
