How do I print collated booklet pages?

[Phil Agur]

I have a 16 page directory to print 125 copies from a HP4100DN. It duplexes
fine and comes out collated as a single copy but when I spin up 60 copys they
are not collated. Same results with or without collate being ticked in the
print dialog box.

MS Word collates multi-page jobs just fine through this PC to the same
printer. Help!

I have a second job of the same type and scale later this week and don't
relish one click per copy printing.

I just noted another POST from 12/04 reporting the same issue.

What version of Publisher do you have? Helpful. From Publisher Help (I know
that's a fout-letter word)
Set up and print a letter-sized booklet
To create a folded booklet with 8.5-by-11-inch pages. Your printer
must support printing on 11-by-17-inch paper, also called tabloid paper, for
the procedure to work.

1.. Open the publication you want to print as a folded booklet.
2.. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
3.. Click the Layout tab.
4.. Under Publication type, click Booklet.
5.. Under Page size, type 8.5 in the Width box and 11 in the Height
box.
6.. Click the Printer & Paper tab.
7.. Under Printer, select a printer that can print on 11-17 or
tabloid paper.
8.. Under Paper, select the 11-by-17- inch or tabloid paper option,
and then click OK.
9.. When you are prompted to automatically insert pages, click Yes.
Publisher will insert pages so that the total number is a multiple of 4.
10.. On the File menu, click Print.
11.. In the Print dialog box, click Change page order, click Print
as book, and then click OK.
12.. Select any other options you want, and then click OK to print
the publication.
Microsoft Publisher prints the first and last pages on one sheet of
paper, the second and next-to-last on another sheet, and so on, as shown in
the following picture. When you photocopy the pages back to back and then
staple or bind them together, they will be in the right order.
