Have a look at pdf2you. For an example, see:
http://www.affinity.co.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/XMLWP/HomePage

Tick 'Include this page' and press 'Publish'

Click the PDF icon at the top right (with a 'Typeset Page' tool tip)

Print the result double-sided.

Let me know if you'd like to use it until...

With PmWiki 2, I envisage 'action=pdf' and go wiki -> tex -> pdf
instead of wiki -> xhtml -> tex -> pdf.
