I can't reproduce this Bug:

Steps:

# create a 2 page PDF 'document.pdf' with the words "FirstPage" and "SecondPage"

1. echo -e "FirstPage\nSecondPage" | enscript --lines-per-page=1 -p - | ps2pdf - "document.pdf"
2. pdfnup --nup 2x1 document.pdf
3. evince document-nup.pdf
4. print using the print dialog #(page orientation is automatically set to Portrait, but the Document is clearly shown as being Landscape)

The (2x1) page is "correctly" printed in Landscape mode (although the print dialog says it's portrait)
