Now that got interesting!  I tried this using Adobe Acrobat Reader to 
print the PDF file and although I selected 2 copies, collated, I got one 
copy!  I then tried 3 copies and still only got one copy.

I am using an HP Laserjet 8150DN, CUPS 1.3.11, on "AppSocket/HP 
JetDirect" and the "HP Laserjet 8150 Series Postscript (en)" driver.  
When I installed it, CUPS found the printer on my network automagically 
with the "Find New Printers" option, but I continued to install it 
manually using the CUPS "wizard".  I did not opt for the Foomatic or 
Gutenprint drivers, thinking they would not be needed, since the printer 
has Postscript emulation, and a simple Postscript driver should 
suffice.  Now I may go back and rethink that decision.  I noticed there 
are two other drivers I may try: Foomatic and CUPS Gutenprint v5.2.2.

Thanks for the help.  You may be onto something with the driver.  I will 
try the other drivers and report back.
