My method is very similar (even to using the same printer), except that I
staple first and then fold. I've got the paper guide on my long-arm

Folding is
much easier when the part is already stapled, and I'm very picky about
the
precision of the fold (BTW, at one time I used 3 staples per booklet, but
have found that 2 staples, placed appr. 1.75" from the top and bottom
edges,
are far superior).
That's interesting. Unfortunately I have never been able to staple
accurately enough without already having a folding line there. I will
try my luck again, perhaps my current stapler won't work for that. On
the other hand I find it interesting that you can get your staples
precise enough, as that certainly makes the folding easier.

I have a long-arm stapler which has a spring-metal clip that
can be placed on the base at the precise distance you want
from the edge to the staple (8.5" on 11x17 paper) so that
all I have to do is to hold the two edges of this clip
against the edge of the paper and then the staple will be
placed at the precise distance and parallel to the edge of
the paper.
