Printing in Preview (pdf) in handout format

Question

How can I print in preview with handout format? 3 slides/page only filling half of page. This option is available in keynote but not preview. I really need this option for my biochem course. Help!

Answer 1

Adobe Reader does not work. I get the standard print dialog, but once I hit print it beachballs. The print progress dialog from printer setup doesn't even come up.
I've now tried it with the standard EFI x3e 22c-km ps v2.0 drivers that come with OS X and with the ones I can download from imagistic's (the printer brand) website. They are both the same version.
I ran a cupstestPPD command from the CLI and this is what I got... from the standard OSX driver:
*FAIL* REQUIRED EFDuplex does not define choice None!

*FAIL* Bad EFDuplex choice False!

WARN Duplex option keyword EFDuplex should be named Duplex!

I don't know if any of this helps.
The last time I tried to print our newsletter, I was running 10.4.9... I am now running 10.4.10.
This is my only 11x17 printer, and our PC's colormatching stinks. I can print from it, but if I do I will probably need to go to greyscale.
thanks for the help so far. But Like I said, my 17in MBP works fine (But is in the shop for a repair ). It's running 10.4.10 as well.
