When the document orientation was portrait but the n-up signature resulted landscape the printer would not correctly print landscape. It would be in the lower left-hand corner and run off the right-hand side. It would refuse to print correctly even if you manually set the printer for landscape output! Now this used to work without a problem, and trying to determine when this issue first appeared and it seemed to coincide with Windows 10 Creator Update.
I fixed the problem by reviewing the printer properties and noticed the printer driver was change with the update. It was set to the HP Universal Printing PS driver. When I reset the driver back to the HP LaserJet PCL6 driver for my printer series now my landscape n-up signatures print correctly without any intervention. There seems to be a problem with HP Universal Printing PS driver.

Hi David:
To clarify, the form was portrait with dims narrow width longer height:
But when using an n-up signature that results in a landscape page
Would fail printing on page as shown where page boundaries is in red
However, which is interesting is if the original document is landscape in orientation such as
And I do a n-up that changes the orientation to portrait, it works as expected
Strange. Anyway there is no problem with the printer specific PCL driver
