Title:
  Printing mupltiple pages per side with 'odd' or 'even' setting results
  in strange order

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Confirmed
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  [Summary was: evince prints pages in a strange order]
  Binary package hint: evince

  I have to print out presentation slides for university and because
  they don't contain much text and the fonts are big I want to print out
  several pages on one sheet of paper.

  I open the PDF in evince, go to Print, select print to file (I print
  out the stuff at my university and I can only upload .ps files to
  them) and press print.

  The resulting .ps file has a strange layout, like this:

  (I know that is some bad ASCII art, but I think you get the idea.)

  -------------
  |  2  |  4  |
  -------------
  |  1  |  3  |
  -------------

  What I obviously want is something like this:

  -------------
  |  1  |  2  |
  -------------
  |  3  |  4  |
  -------------

  The problem is that you can't select the orientation of the paper.
  Evince assumes that the sheet of paper is vertical, while it's
  actually horizontal.
