Bug Description
Now that I can finally print multiple pages per sheet and duplex with the gnome print dialog, can we have the same "booklet" output option that is available on the windows print dialog? The one where it reorders the printed pages so you can just fold the printout in the middle and you get a booklet (and use 75% less paper)
I use a HP laserjet 2200 DTN, if it's relevant.

Booklet printing would be a very nice feature! It is available in Adobe Reader (also for Linux).
Internally, it's but "2 pages per side" and "flip short edge", with a correct list of pages
For an 8 pages document, the "pages" list would be "8,1,2,7,6,3,4,5"
Thus, it would be able to do it manually, if it would be possible to include "white" pages in the "pages" field of the print dialog.
For a 6 pages document, the "pages" list would have to be "W,1,2,W,6,3,4,5" where W indicates a white page
