Summary:
Use the attached landscape4pages.pdf
(I made it with OpenOffice) and print it
with the various possible number-up layouts:

for L in btlr btrl lrbt lrtb rlbt rltb tblr tbrl ; \
do lp -d <queeu_name> -o number-up=4 \
      -o number-up-layout=$L -o page-label="$L" \
      -o page-border=single landscape4pages.pdf ; \
done

The printed layout is not the expected one
for landscape orientation.

The printed layout is the expected one for portrait
if one holds the printed paper in portrait orientation
(i.e. after a 90 degree paper rotation counterclockwise)

E.g. for the default lrtb the actually printed layout is
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |


Furthermore as a side effect also the page-label is printed
at the wrong side of the paper for landscape orientation
(it is also printed according to portrait orientation).

An additional '-o landscape' in the print command
did not change the layout.
