Printing number of copies doesn't work on xp pro

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

I have XP pro and a Brother MFC 3420C Printer/scanner/fax/copier.
Everything worked fine up until I tried to print today.

If I'm in Word, or anything on this system, when I go to File > Print
and put in any number of copies for it to print, it only prints one copy.

This happens in Word as well as my Browser (mozilla) so I know it's not
spacific to a certain program.

I also got the latest drivers for my printer and installed them as well
as going to windows update and installed any new updates.

This /has/ to be somthing with the printing system in windows that
somehow got messed up.

Also, if I'm in Word and just hit the print icon on the toolbar a number
of times it will add the number of copies to the print job icon in the
taskbar, and it will print multiple copies. But when I choose the
number of copies from the print dialog box it just shows one document in
the taskbar print icon.

Any ideas where to look to fix this?

None of this worked, any other ideas?

I also completely uninstalled/reinstalled all my printer drivers and
software.
