Dov, Thanks for continuing this discussion. I like to know how things work. Determining the desired behaviour doesn't sound like a problem. Things work as expected when using Win9x. I insist that this is a bug. If the designers of Win2000 didn't want Win2000 to print collated output on printers which didn't support collation they should have done two things: 1) gray out the collate tick-box, 2) not support collation for "spooled" ports and all would exhibit the same unexpected behaviour. I wonder which component tells the other components that FILE and network ports are not "spooled". Poking through the registry reveals that all the ports use winspool. Playing with the spool options through the user interface seems to have no effect. Sigh.
