I'm trying to use psnup to print two pages on a single sheet. The source 
pastscript file pages are already formatted 8.5 inches High by 5.5 inches 
Wide. I want to print these on to a 8.5 High 11 Wide page. 

The man pages on this app are not very clear/complete. I've tried things like:
psnup -nup 2 -w5.5in -h8.5in -W5.5in -H8.5in -l zzPrintTest.ps zzPrintTest2.ps
or
psnup -nup 2 -w5.5in -h8.5in -W11in -H8.5in -f zzPrintTest.ps zzPrintTest2.ps

My results are always about the same. I cannot get the original pages to print 
full size. they are always reduced. I have attempted to guess at how 
the -s -m and -b options might function but nothing appears to work. (At 
least not as I would expect.) 

Does anyone have a grasp of how this program works? I really want something 
very simple. To print the 1/2-letter pages side by side in landscape 
orientation on a full letter page without scaling the originals at all.
