Windows – How to print multiple copies of one page, multiple pages per sheet in Windows 10

hp-envyprintingwindows 10

I have a document which will print on a single sheet of A4 paper. I want to produce multiple copies of this at the A5 size. I wish to do this by printing two copies of each page per A4 sheet. Then later I shall manually trim the A4 sheets in half, creating the A5 handouts that I desire.

How can I make this happen with the Print dialog?

I am using an HP Envy 5540 printer.

At present the best I can do is to print on the 2-pages-per-sheet setting (which does the shrinking to A5) but I only get one copy (thus wasting half a sheet of paper each time).

Here is an example:

There is a general work around you can try.

Specify a custom set of "Pages to Print" and enter your desired page twice. i.e.: "1,1"

Then print "2 Pages per sheet".
