This one is driving slightly insane today, as I previously printed this booklet about a dozen times no problems. I have an indesign document of 14 pages in A4 landscape, that I am trying to print booklet style.

For some reason, I cannot get it to put one page, on a page. 

Take a look at this and please tell me what I am missing here.

 

I even tried the 'Scale to fit' radio button, and have a look at what it does.

As you can see, it has put the entire spread on a single A4 page despite only scaling 93%.

 

I feel like I've printed booklet from indesign a thousand times, and even done it a dozen times with this exact booklet. I just cannot for the life of me figure out what is going wrong.

 

For note, I did recently have to export an A4 portrait booklet into PDF as spreads. However, this booklet is set to export as pages, not spreads and I have double checked this.
