Here's one way:

In[1]:= f = Compile[{{n, _Integer}, {k, _Integer}},
  Module[{ans, i = 1, j = 1, l = 1},
   ans = Array[0 &, {Binomial[n + k - 1, k], k}];
   While[True,
    While[j <= k, ans[[i, j++]] = l];
    If[i == Length@ans, Break[]];
    While[ans[[i, --j]] == n,];
    l = ans[[i++, j]] + 1;
    ans[[i]] = ans[[i - 1]];
    ];
   ans
   ]]

In[2]:= f[4, 3]

Out[2]= {{1, 1, 1}, {1, 1, 2}, {1, 1, 3}, {1, 1, 4}, {1, 2, 2}, {1, 2,
3}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 3}, {1, 3, 4}, {1, 4, 4}, {2, 2, 2}, {2, 2, 3},
{2, 2, 4}, {2, 3, 3}, {2, 3, 4}, {2, 4, 4}, {3, 3, 3}, {3, 3, 4}, {3,
4, 4}, {4, 4, 4}}
