CUPS has historically applied page-ranges after number-up, to match how
page ranges and number-up interact in desktop environments and to match
user expectations ("I need to re-print the 3rd page of my presentation
that I printed 2-up")

I agree this is non-conforming to RFC 2911 section 15.3, but changing it
now is probably not a good idea (somebody will break).

Title:
  Number up option is processed before the page extraction option

Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When printing multiple pages per sheet, it seems that number-up option
  is processed before the page range option.

  For example, the command below will print 4 pages of the document
  using two sheets of paper, instead of one sheet with two pages.

  lp -o page-ranges=1-2 -o number-up=2 filename.pdf

  This bug makes it impossible to print odd number of pages with number-
  up option > 1. Say, if I want to print three pages using two pages per
  sheet, and I will not be able to.

  This was tested with Cups 1.7.5, cups-filters 1.0.69 on Ubuntu.
