Hi Tracy,
This is the script I use to print book-style documents (both page sides and
2 or 4 document pages per sheet)

#!/bin/sh

printf "I need the file name."
exit 1

/usr/bin/psbook $1 ~/tmp/reordered.ps
/usr/bin/psnup -2 -l -m0.0in -pletter -Pletter ~/tmp/reordered.ps booklet_$1

Since both psbook and psnup are proper Unix filters (read from stdin,
write to stdout) there is no need for the intermediate file
"reordered.ps". It can all be done in a pipeline.
/usr/bin/psbook $1 | /usr/bin/psnup -2 -l -m0.0in -pletter -Pletter
booklet_$1
I think that the default page size is "letter" so you don't need to
specify that either. But this is probably installation-dependent, and
different if you live in a metric country.
