Laser printers works by first writing the text or image on a light sensitive drum. This latent image on the drum is them coated with toner where the next step will transfer the toner to the paper. The text is transferred to the paper through electrostatic action. There is no impact or spraying as in your Dot-matrix or Ink-jets. The final step in laser printing is to heat the toner so it can be pressed into the paper. That is why most laser printed documents are usually warm to the touch.

The final answer to your question is this: Multiple form requires some kind of impact pressure like the old typewriters or Dot-Matrix printer to press through the layers of papers. Laser and any type of Jet do not produce any impact pressure to penetrate the multiple form.

If this is something that you really need to do then you have two options. 1) On your laser printer, print several copies of the original. 2) Buy yourself a Dot Matrix printer. You can still find them because they are the only printer capable of punching through the multi-forms; however they will be more expensive.
