I recently did something like this using psutils. Well, not exactly,
since I don't have a printer. But I wanted to arrange pages of a
postscript file into a certain order so they would come out right when
someone else would print them for me. I think you can pipe output from
these commands to /dev/lp0. psutils is a suite of programs that allow you
to arrange postscript files in various ways for making booklets, n-up and
otherwise. I have no idea what the dependencies are, since I didn't try
this with BL :(. But you might want to take a look into this for your
project.

I looked at psutils once and I think tried to compile it but got nowhere.
It would also let me combine four pages into one, to print the camera manual, but I did that with netpbm instead.
