[STR New]

lp -d printer -n 2 -o collate=True -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o
StapleLocation=UpperLeft 3pg.ps

Expected behavior: (1-2, 3/), (1-2, 3/)
There should be a blank page after the last page (if the document has odd
number of pages)
Each copy of the document should be stabled together.

Actual behavior:
Generates a 3-page document. (1-2, 3-1, 1-2), all collated together.

The root cause is pstops filter, which generates a huge file for collated
job.

One suggestion: CUPS should submit the job $NumCopies times if the job is
collated. (Maybe under the same job ID? Like banner page and job body are
sharing the same jobID)
