I personally believe that I must have given a wrong impression: I'm not aiming at extreme paper saving, just reasonable. If it were for that, I knew a2ps. (Although I've always been frightened by the number of its switches and never really bothered to learn them all, just using it for quick shots.) But then if I were to do a similar job, I would probably follow kyle's suggestion or Bloodnok's in conjunction with tools like psnup or pdfpages.

Well, extreme paper saving would be not printing at all, or converting the source with Acme::Bleach (skipping the first line of the result) prior to printout.

An A5 booklet from an A4 printout with both sides covered looks like a very reasonable way of paper saving (to me, that i ;-)
