I'm looking for a free package that would let me print
books on my inkjet. The basic problem is this would need
to print 2 sheets on the side of each page and to know
about the order the pages would come out when printed
double sided.

Anyone know?

Yes, I've found a few trialware packages, that give you 30 days
and cost $50 after that.
The problem is more than just printing double sided, as the page
order changes, too. So to print A5 pages on A4 paper, you need to
print 2 pages side by side on each side of the page, but one side
needs to have pages 2 and 3 and the other side has to have pages
1 and 4.
If you just print 1, 2, <flip the paper over> 3, 4 and then cut
the page down the middle to bind them, you get page 4, 1 then 2
and 3 - tricky!
