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

    See the suggestions made in previous messages in this thread. Also see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918790/en-us ("You cannot print multiple copies of a Word 2007 document"). Similar articles are available for other Word versions.

    When asking printer to print a document with several pages, printer will only print page 1?  Any suggestions.

    Hello,

    I'm having the same issue with a HP Laserjet 5000N.  When we try to print an Excel document (MS Office 2003), and change the number of copies to print, it will only print one copy of the document.  Anyone having this same problem?

    Thanks!

    Scott

    Have you tried the suggestion for HP printers posted earlier in this thread by "David M9"?

    If that doesn't work, finding a new or updated printer driver is the best solution.
