It's a feature of the app.
What I do is use an option to "Print To File", and then use a post
processor. I like mpage...

http://www.mesa.nl/pub/mpage/

$ cat twoside-1
mpage -1 -m40lrtb -r -j 1%2 $1 | lpr -P $2

$ cat twoside-2
mpage -1 -m40lrtb -j 2%2 $1 | lpr -P $2

For two up printing I use these

$ cat twoup-1
mpage -2 -m40lrtb -r -j 1%2 $1 | lpr -P $2

$ cat twoup-2
mpage -2 -m40lrtb -j 2%2 $1 | lpr -P $2

For four up printing I use these

$ cat fourup-1
mpage -4 -m40lrtb -r -j 1%2 $1 | lpr

$ cat fourup-2
mpage -4 -m40lrtb -j 2%2 $1 | lpr

I don't use a printer destination with the fourup-* scripts,
as I always use 600dpi for that fine print. With the others
I often use 300dpi, which is not the way I have my default
queue set up.

I'm afraid it's switches are all very obscure, but the docu
is fairly easy to read and more or less comprehensive.
