mpage is a small utility to print muliple pages per sheet on a PostScript (an Adobe trade mark, I guess) printer. mpage is good for the environment (especially when combined with double-sided printing) and possibly bad on your eyes. Use at your own risk.For example, to print 8 pages per sheet use:
mpage -8 -Pprinter filenameTo ease your eye-strain, the default is 4 pages per sheet. See the man page for details, or just try it. It is highly recommended.
