In LO 4.1.2.3 on Linux:

1.  There *is no* "Collate" option in the print dialog.

2.  There is a "Create single print jobs for collated output" on the "Options" 
tab, but it has no effect.
Multiple jobs are queued (when copies > 1) regardless of whether it is checked 
or not.

3.  Either the label on the above-mentioned checkbox or its hover-popup
text is wrong, because they give opposite descriptions (the hover help
says "Check to NOT rely on the printer to create collated copies, but
create a print job for each copy instead").

The PPD file (attached) does not contain the keyword "Collate"

And again, why is LO attempting to handle collation in the first place,
rather than leaving it to the print server (CUPS here)?   The print
server knows how to implement its -# <numcopies> option, and it is
closer to the hardware than an application like LO.   On Linux, at
least, I don't think LO should be trying to be a low-level hardware
driver.
