If your PPD file provides a Collate option and turning collate on
does not cause a conflict with other (installable) options in the PPD
file, then we'll let the printer do collated copies for us.

I suspect that your PPD provides a Collate option but the option code
either isn't setting the right printer mode or the printer itself
doesn't actually support hardware copy collation.
