Most companies and educational institutions set a limit on the number of photocopies an employee can make in a given time frame (so it is not abused) and to get around this, the employees will do massive printing on the office printer. If you have an error printing multiple copies, this could be a setting issue where Mopier Mode is enabled by default or was configured by the IT Department. To disable mopier mode, please try the following.

Printer Model
* HP Color LaserJet 5550 (Keep Disabled)
* HP LaserJet 4—- (Keep Disabled)
* HP LaserJet 8000N (Keep Disabled)

Error Messages
* Printer does not support collation

To Disable Mopier Mode: Windows 7
01. Click the Start button on the taskbar.
02. Click Devices and Printers.
03. Right click your Printer.
04. Select Printer Properties.
05. Click the Device Settings Tab.
06. Scroll down to the bottom. If necessary, expand Installable Options.
07. Click on Mopier Mode.
7a. If missing, see if PCL6 drivers are installed and switch to PCL5 drivers.
08. Select Disable in the selection box that appears.
09. Click Apply.

Mopier Mode is now disabled and you should now get multiple copies. Keep in mind that doing multiple copies on a printer will put a strain on the printer parts (ie. fuser, roller, cartridge, etc) and you risk incurring frequent paper jams. Since copiers are often leased with a Service Contract, it is better it put wear on those copiers instead of your purchased and out-of-warranty printers.
