Comment 6 for bug 107025

I think I understand the nature of this bug, having just encountered it myself.

The process I went through is as follows:

1. I have a large PDF file that I want to print. The text is large, and I want to save paper.
2. I decided that I wanted to scale the pages so that two (document) pages are on each side of paper.
3. Furthermore I want to print on both sides of each sheet of paper.
4. My printer doesn't support duplexing (which I assume is what the two-sided option is for).

The natural thing to do is to select:
+ "Pages per sheet": 2
+ "Only print": "Odd sheets"

Then print, and reload the paper into the printer, then select:
+ "Pages per sheet": 2
+ "Only print": "Even sheets"

I expect this to give an result where the first sheet has (document) pages 1&2 on it, and it's reverse has 3&4, and so on.
This seems sensible given the distinction in terminology in the dialog box between pages and sheets.

The actual result is that the first sheet has pages 1&3 on it, and on it's reverse are pages 2&4. I can't see how this is useful for anyone. It doesn't even fold into a booklet or the like.

I think it should also be noted that the diagram showing the page format is not very helpful when you're trying to do this sort of thing. It could be made much better.
