Then you can split the process, First, create the final ps-like-file, ready to print. Something like print to file. Like mpage in Linux. Second, copy the ps-like-file to the printer.
Example: file2print -portrait -2pagesperpage -bpp300 -input acme.ps -output acme-toprint.ps cp acme-toprint.ps /printer/myprinter/spool/ Is an idea.
