Custom Print Command

I'm trying to setup my public printers to do 4 pages per sheet, and am
having nothing but problems making it work.
The system is a Redhat 4.2 box running Samba 1.9.18p4, and the
printers are postscript capable HP 4000 and 8000 machines.
Using Redhat's printtool to set 4 page per sheet output works when
printing via lpr, but as soon as I print from a Win95 box through
samba, it's normal 1 page per sheet output.
According to the smb.conf man page, the print command is a normal
shell command. Unfortunately lpr doesn't appear to have any multipage
capability. However, mpage appears to do what I want, but I can't
seem to make it work. Ie, the following doesn't work at all:
print command = mpage -4 -P %p %s
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Mike
