I have a pages document, it’s only 1 page, but I’d like to print it twice onto a single piece of A3.
I thought I could do that by changing the print settings to “2 copies” and “2 copies on 1 page” and obviously selecting A3.
but this just prints the A4 document on one half of the A3.
how can I get it to print twice on the same piece of paper (WITHOUT having to copy and paste the document so that it’s 2 pages long).
thanks in advance.

I really don't think there's a built-in way to do it, but I challenged myself to find the shortest workaround and came up with this:
Now you can print using the two-pages-per-sheet setting you found before:
I'll leave it to you to judge whether that's an improvement on copying and pasting the document within Pages!
*Unless the document is at least two pages to begin with, you can't Option-drag thumbnails to duplicate pages in the Preview sidebar.

Thanks for the reply.
it’s a shame there’s no inbuilt way to do this.
I have to print loads of single page A4 documents for work but we have to print on A3, so was hoping there’d be a simple way to do it in settings rather than copy pasting or anything else.
I’ll check your suggestion next week when I’m at work next. Thank you
