How many copies of my resume should I bring to an interview?

In the past, I have brought three copies. I suppose it all depends on how many people I will be meeting with. This was a few years back. I have noticed since I have been interviewing this year, recruiters/HR staff seem to NOT want extra copies. I have had many people tell me it wasn't necessary to even bring a fresh copy, as they still have the original attachment. I have an interview tomorrow and Friday. Tomorrow I am meeting with just one person; Friday I am meeting with three. How many should I bring for each meeting? I also like to have one extra for myself to refer to, if necessary.

1. If your meeting tomorrow with 1 person I would bring two just in case someone else decides to sit in on the interview. For the second meeting again just bring 1 more then necessary.
2. i always take two with me, that seems to work because, yes, most of the time the interviewer(s) already have their own copy, but in case they don't, i'll pass them out and if another is necessary no prob they can share
