Odd/even page printing arrives for all KDE apps in 4.4 for CUPS on *nix only.  
Reverse order already works. Voila.

n-up printing is already supported, try the Pages tab in the print dialog.  In 
fact you can go up to 16 pages per sheet if your reading glasses are strong 
enough :-)

Just a note, combining odd/even pages and n-up will produce unexpected 
results!
