4-pages per side and it will not print.  Some documents prints OK but this one 
will not print it.

Are there better programs in Linux for printing pdf files?

lp still does a good job for me:

mingdao@workstation ~ $ lpstat -a
Officejet_Pro_8500_A910 accepting requests since Wed 23 Jan 2013 02:52:15 PM CST
mingdao@workstation ~ $ lp -d Officejet_Pro_8500_A910 -o scaling=75

The document prints OK from windows but Linux drivers are not up to standard :-/

I'm trying lpr but the following command does not print the pages I want, it 
prints all pages instead of 1-8

lpr -o media=Letter -o landscape -o number-up=4 -o page-ranges=1-8 -o number-up-layout=btlr
I think "-o number-up=4" can not be combine with: "-o page-ranges=1-8"
