I do not see that you included your printer model.

If you did so, the post failed to add the information.

 

The answer is No --

You cannot initiate Copy from the PC.

COPY is a printer based operation.

 

What if?

 

If you are using a supported printer model, a supported Operating System / version, and have access to a supported application --

The answer is Use Scan instead of Copy

---------------------------------

What else?

 

Should you be using a supported printer, supported Mobile device, and a supported application, 

Then

The answer is Yes --

HP App supports using the camera on your mobile device to create a Copy.
