unable to print page 1,1 in a single-page-document

Question

I want to print page 1 twice, but it ist impossible to chose pages (here: 1,1), when a dokument has just one page.

Why I want to do so?

Example 1: Print two pages on one sheet of paper, then cut the paper an you get 2 smaller ones. (2 times A4 portrait printed as two times A5 portrait on one sheet of paper A4 landscape)*

Example 2: Print a document containing 2 vertical pages (columns) on one horizontal page twice duplex, then cut the paper. So you get two sheets of paper contaning the left page/column at one side (front) and the right page/column at the other side (back).

This is a bug an should be solved.

*(To be able to show, what I want, I created a document containing the same page twice. This should not be necessary!)

Create an Action that executes this code, and then run it directly or via a Custom Command:

// Print first page twice
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.printRange = [[0,0], [0,0]];
this.print(pp);

It's also possible to create a custom menu or toolbar button that will do it, but that requires a more complex script and installing a .js file on your computer.
