If you can't find any software to do this, just edit the .ps file.
Make a copy, then edit it and remove pages you dont need.
Here's the junction of two pages in a typical .ps document:
Fi(hw)p 1013 2911 V 15 w(info)e Fj(and)h(con\014g)g(en)o(tries.)p
eop
%%Page: 37 37
37 36 bop 0 -84 1950 3 v 0 -100 a Ff(7.)37 b(Debugging)13
Just cut from a point starting with %%Page: through to a point
finishing with eop (end of page). eop may not be on its own line,
but should than have a space before it, like this eop
Then print the edited copy. (Take out double pages if you can
print in duplex.)
Cheers,
