what application are you printing from ?

you may want to reload the printer driver it may be corrupted however the application may not support the option you mention


I would try printing from several applications such as MSword, Excel, wordpad and when you go to file and print see if the option is greyed out if so then either the driver is corrupted or the driver for the printer does not support the option.

You could try loading an emulation driver I believe the printer you have is PCL 3c compliant try going into the add printer wizard and using an HP550c or 560c series deskjet driver. and select that driver in the application if you can then print multiple copies then you know it is a problem with the printers software.  
Have a look in the properties and see if there is a paper handling option, if there is make sure it is not set to 'manual feed' this sometimes greys out he multiple copies box.
