Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
 * Do you get the issue when printing to a file too?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Always reproducible

open evince (also tested firefox), choose print, choose a printer,
since print to file won't let you choose the page ordering, select 4
pages per sheet, select a different print order, choose print preview.

When you comment on an upstream bug which describe your issue could you mention it there?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Well, I don't think it's the same bug, that one is about the lack of a
page ordering dialog. I just commented to see if any other is having
my problem. I think a new bug should be opened

GEDIT: page ordering works (but the print preview is wrong, I will open a new bug)
FIREFOX: works (I was wrong before whan I said it did not work, I forgot that I printed to PDF and not to the real printer)
EOG: works

Can you suggest me other softwares to test, so that we can finally say that the problem is only in evince?

the gtk issue has been fixed that's an evince bug now

Should be fixed in Ubuntu 10.04 now. Thanks for reporting.
