Duplicate Prints:

Here’s a guide to troubleshoot issues with duplicate prints:

1. Check Print Settings

• Ensure that the “Print Multiple Copies” option is not selected in the print dialog box. Set it to print just one copy.

2. Clear Print Queue

• Go to “Devices and Printers,” find your printer, and check the print queue. Clear any duplicate jobs that might be stuck or queued.

3. Restart the Printer and Computer

• Power cycle your printer and restart your computer. This can reset any temporary glitches causing duplicate prints.

4. Update Printer Drivers

• Ensure your printer drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer’s website for the latest version.

5. Check for Software Issues

• Sometimes, specific applications may cause duplicate prints. Try printing from a different program to see if the issue persists.

6. Reinstall the Printer

• Remove the printer from your computer and reinstall it. This can help fix any configuration issues.

7. Inspect Print Settings in Applications

• Check the print settings in the application you’re using (e.g., Word, PDF viewer) for any options that may lead to duplicates.

8. Disable Background Printing

• In some applications, background printing can cause issues. Disable this feature in the application’s print settings.

9. Check for Multiple Printer Instances

• Ensure there are not multiple instances of the same printer listed in “Devices and Printers.” If so, remove the duplicates.

10. Consult the Manual

• Refer to the printer’s manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to printing issues.

11. Contact Support

• If the problem continues, contact the manufacturer’s customer support for further assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve issues with duplicate prints!
