interleaving pages of jobs

cups 1.1.19 on departmental print server and workstation, both RHL9.
Canon iR-3300 printer near the server.
1. If I set up the Canon as a local queue on the workstation, so that
the workstation talks directly to the Canon without the department cups
server, I have no problem. I can submit job1 and job2 and job3 almost
simultaneously, and they spool into the printer and come out collated
into separate jobs.
2. If I set up the Canon as a print queue on the department cups server
and have the workstation browse the cups server for its printcap, I have
a problem. I can submit job1 and job2 and job3 almost simultaneously,
and they spool into the printer and come out as if someone had taken two
new decks of cards and shuffled them together. The pages come out like so.
job1-1
job1-2
job2-1
job1-3
job2-2
job2-3
job1-4
job1-5
job2-4
job1-6
The correct word for this is "interleaving", but there are no Google
results for "cups interleav" that have anything to do with printing in Unix.
Any suggestions?
