There could be various reasons for anyone wanting to print two or more pages per sheet, ranging from creating a booklet to reducing the size of printed document or to save paper.
However, the problem is that Mac does not provide the option to print multiple pages per sheet in the Print menu. To confirm, open any Document, PDF File, Text File or Spreadsheet and click on File > Print to see if there is any option or menu that allows you to print two pages on a single sheet of paper.
Since, there is no two-sided printing option on Mac in the print-menu, we ended up using a workaround that makes it really easy to print two pages on a single sheet of paper.
