I can't understand how to make my printer print multiple copies of the same document

[Edwinbeachill]

I can make the printer do most things, but I just can't find the box in preferences that lets me set the number of copies

Hi @Edwinbeachill,

Good Day.   Thank you for stopping by the HP forums. I reviewed the post for assistance regarding setting the number copies to be printed in printing preferences. I will be glad to assist you here. 🙂

Superb description and splendid diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂

By default, the number of copies in printing preferences is set to 1.

• Please try these steps.
• Please open the file you need to print.
• Hold down the CTRL Key and press the letter P at the same time now to bring up the printing menu.
• Here in print, change the number of copies to the one you need and then send it for printing.
• There is no setting in preferences to change the number of copies to be printed to more than 1
   
• Please check this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/Set-default-copies-to-2/td-p/5015720  out which a solved solution authored by a Forum expert for a different printer. Please repeat the process and install the 990c driver and check. This might do the trick for you.
