Forget about using columns. Set your page size to 8.5 x 5.5 inches. Set
margins as you think appropriate ("nice") for such a page size. Then use /File
/Print : Page Layout tab to either print Brochure (if you are going to fold the
printout) or 2 pages to a printer sheet. In /File /Print : Properties make
sure your printer is set to "Letter", and Horizontal.
I suggest playing with a small test file of at least 8 pages until you become
familiar with this.
