Just to confirm this fixed the issue for me.  Printer is an HP LaserJet 3330 using Windows 7's own driver.  Disabling Mopier mode (which had been enabled by default) fixed the problem and allowed multiple copies to be printed.   Steps to fix:

  1. Start > Devices and Printers

2. Double-click printer

  1. Double-click "Customize your printer"
  2. Click "Device Settings" tab
  3. Scroll to bottom of page and change "Mopier Mode" to Disabled under the "Installable Options" group.

Thanks for pointing this out David, it's something that's been bugging me since Vista.

Does this issue happen only with Word?

Did you try to print in other Office applications like Excel?

Check if you can print multiple copies in WordPad and Excel.

If it happens only in Word, check this article and see if it helps

    You'll need to find a printer driver that works with Windows 7.

    I have the same problem. I have a HP Deskjet 6540, run Windows 7. The printer is shared with two other computers. I cannot print multiple copies from any application. ANY APPLICATION. This apparently started with the installation of Windows 7.

    Cenedd, I don't know who you are, but I LOVE YOU!!!

    I've been struggling with this and I'm actually running a MacBook Pro with Parallels running Win7 64 bit as a virtual machine. There were so many possible places it could have gone wrong and I was losing my mind trying to get it to work.

    You solved my problem and I cannot thank-you enough!
