Print it out in 2. Could I say that? Say I'm going to tell someone not just print the document out, but get more than one copy. How do I put it right?

"Print two copies (please)." "In two" can be mistaken for "in two minutes".

The use of '2' in this context is too imprecise. You can say: Print it out twice Print out two copies
