I have created a document in Word that is in Landscape layout. I have
made 4 copies of it on the Word page, and I want to print it out as 4
pages on a single A4 sheet of paper.
On the print menu I select 4
pages per sheet, and on properties I make sure that it is in Landscape,
but when it prints it is as if the printer has printed the pages as
portrait, as each word page is one eigth of the A4 printed sheet.
If I select 2 pages per sheet, they are printed correctly, each page being a landscape quarter of the printed A4 sheet.
Where am I going wrong?!!
The problem is the PCL5 driver.
Replace it with a PCL6 driver.
Apparently, Microsoft issued an update that broke PCL5 drivers.
Perhaps they were trying to save paper. LOL!

This is not the fault of the printer but the fault of word.
The way I did it successfully was as follow:
File > Page Setup > Layout = Landscape (sounds like you have already done this)
In the print dialoge, instead of OK, click Properties. On the layout tab, select landscape and below that select pages per sheet = 4 and then click ok... Then click OK to print.

I should have mentioned that I had already tried that route. The problem with that is that you get a faint border printed around each of the 4 pages on the one sheet - not what we want.
I've found with other (non-landscape!!) work that using the pages per sheet in the 'zoom' box on the first print box does not create these lines.
It's just that with this landscape work it's creating this problem!
