Yes, unfortunately, it doesn't really help in your situation.  But,  
since you are using an HP printer, the collate option should work for  
you to be able to get more than one copy of your document, or pages of  
your document.  I can confirm that it works with page ranges, at least  
it does for me.

Unfortunately, there's still no explanation as to *why* multiple  
copies doesn't work unless collation is selected, or why it doesn't  
work at all for a printer that I never had a problem with under Hardy.
