doesn't print properly pdfs in "2 per page" or "4 per page" mode

[Adriano Varoli Piazza]

Using evince, the print dialog offers the option to print 2 or 4 document pages per paper page. However, the result is either one page per page, as if nothing had been selected, or misplaced text if I turn the page from vertical layout to horizontal.

Using xpp, I can print 4 in 1, but the order of the pages is wrong: instead of
1 3
2 4
or
1 2
3 4
it prints
2 1
4 3
or
3 1
4 2

My printer is a Samsung ML-1710.
I had reported this bug in mandriva, and it turned out to be a combination of cups and evince bugs. The cups bug was solved, eventually, but the evince bug wasn't. You can see the bugreport at http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21388. I'm filing this under cupsys too.

Thanks for you bug. Could be an issue similar to bug #3667
