HP Laser Jet 1320 won't printing multiple copies on Windows 10

I suspect that the following may be the case:

• Your document is a multiple page document (i.e. not just a single page).
• You are selecting that copies be printed 'collated' (i.e. pages 1,2,3,..,1,2,3,...,1,2,3,...) rather than 'uncollated' (i.e. pages 1,1,1,...,2,2,2,...,3,3,3,...).
• The driver assumes that the printer can produce the multiple copies from a single copy source - this is known as MOPYing (I think that it stands for  'multiple original copying').
• But the printer does not have MOPY capability - this is usually only available if the printer has a hard disk and/or a large RAM disk - I don't think that the LJ1320 supports either of these.

You can confirm that the above is occurring by:

• 'Capturing' a sample print job to a file (using the 'print to file' option in  the Word and/or driver Print dialogue
• Then examing the beginning of the resultant .prn file (you should be able to open it in NotePad).
• Most of the file may be unintelligible, but the beginning will look something like:

If the SET QTY command is there, this confirms that the driver thinks that the printer will perform the copies.

If so, check the Device Settings for the printer:

to check whether or not the system thinks that a hard disk is installed on the printer, and whether or not Mopier mode is enabled.

If the Printer Hard disk is set to Installed, change it to Not installed.

If the Mopier Mode is set to Enabled, change it to Disabled.

Then repeat the tests to see whether or not that makes any difference.

It should do, although the print jobs sent to the printer will be larger (they will contain multiple copies).

The goodly professor is wrong.

I have several HP 1320s running on W10 (and in the past on XP, 8, etc)

They all will print multiple copies.

You need to disable mopier mode

Here's how:

• On your local computer, click on the Start menu and select Devices and Printers.
• Right-click your Laserjet printer and select Printer Properties from the pop-up menu. (This is not Properties at the bottom of the menu)
• Click the Device Settings tab.
• Scroll to the bottom and expand Installable Options.
• Click the Enabled link next to Mopier Mode.
• Select Disabled from the drop-down list.
• Click OK.
• Close the Devices and Printers window

I think that you have misread my original post, in which I stated:

"If the Mopier Mode is set to Enabled, change it to Disabled."

I can't see that this is different from what you have suggested!
