   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
