Really? Thats in alias in my .bashrc file. Humm. I use that all the time to print Dataheets and make them into 4x5 booklets. Haven't dont any in 6 months or so but I'll try another now. Yep still works here. I just tried it on a Doc that it does not work on though. The "Linux Hardware Compatabibility HOWTO" did not print 2 up. Knowing little about the makeup of postscript, I would guess there is somethig in the file to defeat 2 up printing. Anyway, it works with the bash I am running on testing but YMMV.
