Evince prints 1 page per sheet even when multi-page printing is specified

[Eric Nichols]

When printing both ps and pdf files, I select "2 pages to 1" from
Print->Paper->Layout.
The expected behavior is that 2 pages will be printed one one page as if "nup
-2" had
been used. However, pages are still printed 1 page per sheet. I am not referring to
double-sided printing. I want two pages to appear half-sized on one side of a
sheet of
paper.

not only evince, but every program that uses the gnome printing interface
(for instance check gedit!)

I can confirm this behavior. In gedit the same thing happens.

This seems to be a known problem since February 2005:

However it seems that there is no fix for Gnome 2.14.
Package unmaintained?
