The free virtual printers I have used are the following. . .

CUPS-PDF for Linux [Ubuntu 10.04 - 12.04]
doPDF for Windows [XP - Win7]

They seem to be the best ones I have tried.

So as for the "brochure" setting,  it will print out the pages in the
proper order over the, say, 20+ pages of a "booklet"?

I do not have duplexing on my wide format printer, so I would have to do
this "the hard way" for Tabloid or A5 paper to get Letter or A4 pages. 
How "easy" is it to do the "process" using a "manual" feed paper option?

--------------

I know that I had a printer, once, that has a "booklet" page printing in
its software package, driver and utilities, for Windows.  It was built
into the printer's system so you did not need a software package, Word,
OOo, LO, etc., to have that option built in.

My printer goes up to 13 x 19 inches or 330mm x 483mm[?].  I found out
[to late] that the next model up in the series did duplexing, but is
would have been another $20 US dollars to buy.  This printer was almost
50% off for the sale.  HP Officejet 7000 wide format printer.

My Canon MG6200 printer does duplexing very well, but it is an A4 or
Letter size printer.  My HP Laserjet 2300dn has jamming issues with the
duplexing of more than one sheet of paper.  More than half the time, if
I print more than one double sized sheet of paper, I get paper jams
since it tries to both tries to print on the second side of the sheet
and also feeds the next sheet at the same time.  This may be a software
or hardware issue.  I decided not to worry about it and just print one
duplexed sheet at a time on that laser printer or just use the Canon
inkjet for a large page count duplexed document.
