Sorry, I forgot the quick and dirty method.  Instead of queing your print
jobs directly using lpr, you could choose to convert them to postscript
first using a2ps, which is what apsfilter uses anyway.  Without any
special options, a2ps will write to the default print queue itself.

man a2ps for details, but 
    a2ps -2 textfile 
would put two sheets on a page, while
    a2ps -1 textfile
would put one sheet per page.
