IE6 printing, will not collate

S

Steve Silverwood

I'm printing to an HP LaserJet 8100 printer at work, using the standard
"HP LaserJet 8100 Series PCL 6" driver, using Internet Explorer 6
(specifically 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633IC in my case, as indicated
by Help|About in Internet Explorer).

Problem: When printing a web page, selecting multiple copies and turning
on the Collate option =should= print pages 1,2,3,etc. for the first
copy, then start again with pages 1,2,3,etc. for the next, and so on.
However, right now it's printing multiple copies of page 1, then
multiple copies of page 2, and so on. Essentially it's ignoring the
Collate check-box in the print dialog.

This is on Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 1 (no SP2 release
candidate). Also happens on Windows 2000 Professional, similar
configuration.

Any ideas? This just recently started happening, although nothing was
changed as far as I know (and I'm the support guy, so theoretically I
should know <g>).

Thanks in advance.
