How can i change the default for the collated option to uncollated? i need it to stick.

at work i am using 2 DI750 multifunctional printers from Minolta and 1 1050. what happens on any of them is that if i print multiple copies of a document with an odd number of pages and on both sides of the paper, on the back of the last page from the first copy the first page from the second will be printed because of the collated option. and i really dont want that to happen in 99.99% of all cases. the obvious solution is to change the option to uncollated, but what bothers me is that this wont stick, when i move on to another document i have to disable it again and so on, i would save a lot of time if there's a way to set the option to uncollated by default. is this possible?

thanks in advance.

ps:using windows xp and office 2010.

That really sounds like an issue with the Printer Driver (the printing of the first page of the second copy onto a sheet of paper from the first copy) and I would be looking on the Minolta website for an updated driver for use with Office 2010.

I would think that changing from collated to uncollated would be the last thing that you want to do (if only I could have back all of the hours that I spent collating multiple copies of multiple page documents in the days before printers that had the ability to collate - actually, it was the output from offset printing machines).
