Has he tried the duplex printing example in the manual page for a2ps?

To print as a booklet on the default printer, which is Duplex capable,

$ a2ps -=book paper.dvi.gz -d

where
  -=, --user-option=OPTION   use the user defined shortcut OPTION
-d                          send output to the default printer
