N-Up Printing from iOS using Printopia
Authored by: stevebr on Feb 09, '14 02:14:40PM

Another general non-AirPrint option is the Printer Simulator bundled with Xcode, which saves PDFs of the "printed" documents to a folder of your choice on your Mac (choose in the Simulator's preferences). The simulated printers appear to iOS devices on the same network. You can print the PDFs manually on the Mac or set up a folder action to print them as they are created in the folder. Presumably you could attach the workflow suggested in this hint to the folder action, but I haven't tried.

Launch Xcode and go to the Xcode menu > Open Developer Tool > Printer Simulater. Xcode can be closed at that point, but the Simulator needs to be kept running. Add it to your dock for easier access.

Obviously not an ideal solution, but it works.
