"Same setting" does not help us, because we do not know your setting. 
Booklet printing works for me, so perhaps I describe my way and you can 
compare it to your way.

Precondition: You document is written in A5. Your printer can duplex 
printing.
1. In normal view use LO print dialog via File > Print.
2. Click on printer properties to get the dialog of your printer driver. 
Set your printer to use DIN A4 paper. In finishing set the orientation 
to landscape, and enable duplex printing on printer. OK.
3. In LO print dialog click on tab 'Page Layout' and there on option 
'brochure'.
4. OK to print

If your printer cannot duplex printing you need to turn the sheets 
manually. The printer manual should have a guide for that. For me it 
would be in addition to the settings above:
Step 1: Set 'front page' in drop down 'Includes' on the tab 'Page 
Layout'. Print.
Step 2: Put the sheets back into the tray.
Step 3: Set 'back page' in drop down 'Includes' on the tab 'Page Layout' 
and mark 'In reverse page order' on tab 'General'. Print.

Kind regards
Regina
