That is what the Win32 API documentation is for:

    PRINTDLG
    Flags

    PD_COLLATE
    Places a checkmark in the Collate check box when set on input.
When the PrintDlg function returns, this flag indicates that the user
selected the Collate option and the printer driver does not support
collation. In this case, the application must provide collation. If
PrintDlg() sets the PD_COLLATE flag on return, the dmCollate member of
the DEVMODE structure is undefined.


    DEVMODE

    dmCollate
    Specifies whether collation should be used when printing multiple
copies. (This member is ignored unless the printer driver indicates
support for collation by setting the dmFields member to DM_COLLATE.)
This member can be be one of the following values:

    DMCOLLATE_TRUE
    Collate when printing multiple copies.

    DMCOLLATE_FALSE
    Do not collate when printing multiple copies.

    Using DMCOLLATE_TRUE provides faster, more efficient output for
collation, since the data is sent to the device driver just once, no
matter how many copies are required. The printer is told to simply
print the page again.
