Fred, you might be able to do this with mpage (try "man mpage"). The -O & -E
options will print based on 4 page sets. You'll have to experiment with
different margin & indent settings, and possibly reverse the pages to get it
to work, but it pretty much does what you're asking for.
I'd experiment with a small (about 8 page) document, save the settings that
work in your profile, and then print the document you're trying to print as a
booklet.
Best!
