I had more or less the same problem with HP DeskJet 640C.  I used
`mpage` to setup custom margins.  I also remember having trouble telling
`mpage` that the output should have A4 pagesize.  What I used for
printing zia.ps (A5) two pages per sheet was:

	psbook zia.ps tmp.ps
	mpage -m0 -2 tmp.ps > tmp_a5.ps
	psresize -Pa5 -pa4 -q tmp_a5.ps outp.ps

I haven't looked into the problem, though.  So there may be a proper
solution.
