It doesn't work like that. The Collate property is always false - period -
even after checking it and closing the dialog.

I presumed that there was because of the way that I observed how it was 
working
just as I presumed it's behavior was due to my printers not supporting 
collating but
I never got around to confirming it.

That's what I did.
