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

    I believe that printer does have a Mopier Mode

    To disable Mopier Mode:
    Click Start
    Click Devices and Printers
    Right click your Laserjet Printer
    Select Printer Properties
    Click the Device Settings Tab
    Scroll down to the bottom
    If necessary, expand Installable Options
    Click on Mopier Mode
    Select Disable in the selection box that appears
    Click Apply

    You should now get multiple copies.

It will print multiple copies if I turn off collating, but that is a real pain.Same problem in all applications, even PDF files in Adobe Reader act the same way.

    There is no mopier on this small printer, so that fix is not an option. I have tried all the other suggested ideas with no success. I am beginning to believe that this printer may not be fully compatible with Windows 7 x64. I have found no good leads to a driver that will fix this.

    Looking for any reliable fix that does not involve getting a new printer.
