I think you are trying to do something that I do regularly, print a
booklet consisting of A5 portrait pages on A4 landscape paper.  A quick
look through this thread does not seem to have given you the answer.

Your booklet needs to be formatted in writer on A5 portrait pages.
Then, these are my instruction to myself:

Paper size A4
Landscape
Duplex short edge
printer options, brochure

Works for me.
