Normally samba prints raw to cups. This means, cups does not touch the
files that come from your XP client - and so cups has nothing to do with
collating the pages.
As far as I understand it, windows drivers often (maybe allways?) use
the print processor for collating (as for other "advanced printing
functions").
In the PnPrint - environment the print processor would be executed on
the server, which is not possible on samba.
When you are printing directly to the printer you have a *local* printer
, not a *network* printer, and the print processor is executed on your
client machine.
So, unless your driver uses a different way for collating the pages,
there is no way to handle it.

For sometime now I have not been able to print Collated pages on windows
client machines Domain Wide. Our print server is cups, running on Linux
Gentoo. If I print directly to the printer within windows I am able to
collate. If a Linux machine prints from command line specifying
Collate=True while printing pages it works. I have been searching quite
some time now to find a fix, or a how to but no go. Even on the cups
forum I haven't found an answer. I wonder I if I specify in the smb.conf
under the print command section collate=True would that work? If anyone
has this working or know how to get this to work please let me know.
Thanks In advance
