To set copies you can't use a .prs file or printer driver settings as the ps file is sent directly to the printer ignoring the printer driver settings, it is possible to set the number of copies by inserting the correct ps code into the ps file before printing.

1. Add a pdf to the list, right mouse on it and select Processing Setup...

2. Add the .ppd file to the Insert custom printer PPD file code, example PPD file is here for 3 copies.

3. Edit file 3copies-ps-insert.ppd in notepad and change line: /#copies 3 def     to what you require. e.g.  /#copies 7 def             (for 7 copies)
