The printer prints exactly the square of the number of copies requested. Other posts give the setting of mopier mode as a solution, but my Linux printer driver gives access to only the most basic printer settings (paper size, paper source, color mode, print quality). There is no access to this setting on the front panel of the printer or mention of this on its settings page either.
I printed from LibreOffice and a PDF version of the document through Okular, equivalent to Adobe Acrobat, and got the same result.
I am not too concerned as I never need more than three copies and I can print a single copy multiple times, but I look forward to a permanent fix.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Found a solution: I chose a different driver. Looking through the list I found that word "mopier". Instead of
LaserJet Pro M201-M202 Postscript (recommended) (en)
this one works:
HP Mopier 240 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.13
Prints two copies as requested, not four.

Try the Embedded Web Server, put the IP Address of the printer in the URL Bar of a browser and see what you can find.
