Remote desktop printing issue

Here's my problem:

Desktop PC installed with Windows XP Professional at remote site connects via Remote Desktop to a Windows 7 machine at the office to run a Dental Software Program called Soft Dent.

When I go to print from within that remote desktop session and I want to print 2 copies, it only prints one even after changing number of copies in the print settings.

If I print things locally to my printer, it prints 2 copies no problem.  It's just when I am using remote desktop, this just seems to ignore whatever I put into this copies field.

The printer that I am printing to is one of those new HP Officejet 8500 wireless printers.

Anyone with ideas?  I would love to entertain them.

Am going to try updating the drivers this week on both the remote machine and the local one.  It is however, printing 2 copies from a Word Document in this scenario.  This is only happening within that SoftDent application.  Any other ideas before I head onsite?
