And then there is a "Preview" button and when they fire this, if they press the print button on the preview toolbar they expect that the number of copies on that dialog be the same as the original form. So somehow I have to pass forward the number of copies. Not sure if this would be through some settings on the preview container/toolbar or windows functions.

Open report with report designer, Choose File->Page Setup and choose Printer. There you can set number of coopies you want to be showed by default. Other way:
Open report as a table. Go to first record and edit Expr field. Change the row COPIES=1 to COPIES=2 or whatever number you want. Make a good backup first. If you want to set these numbers withing the application this is the only way (Hacking the report)
