HELP!  Printer spits two copies of one printed doc

I've had this problem with OS 10.4- and now with 10.5 I have the same problem. I'm hooked up to my school's dorm printer and every things works perfect... except that for every one document/page that I print, I get two copies. This isn't just me, my RA who has a mac as well has the same problem. Its a dell printer... I believe... and works fine with everyone else. For the sake of saving trees, does anyone have any helpful advice? Much thanks.

I have the newest driver for my HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Using Bonjour 10.5 finds the printer and the driver. When I click on add I get the spinning beach ball and it will not go away. Can't force quit or restart. I have to power off the computer. I have gone through adding by the IP address and 10.5 assigns it a Generic Postscript driver. I go to print and nothing happens. Computer says it printed but nothing comes out on the printer.
I had to do 3 erase and install to get 10.5 to work.

  • My user folder has disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it says it is still there. Anyone know how to restore it. I can drag a duplicate from the find window onto the hard drive but don't want two copies with one hidden.

    My user folder has suddenly disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it comes up as still being there with all its data. Can drag a duplicate copy from the find window back onto the hard drive but don't want two copies there with one of them hidden. Any suggestions anyone?

    Did you update to 10.9.3?
    If you did then update to iTunes 11.2.1.
    That is the fix for that problem.

  • How do I fix syncing issues between my iTouch and iTunes? My iTouch shows I have two copies of one song but on iTunes it shows I have one copy. I only purchased one copy too so where did the second copy come from?

    Yesterday I purchased a few albums and CDs from iTunes to my iTouch. After charging my iTouch, I noticed some of the songs weren't there. So I checked my iTunes and they were still downloading so I synced them up to each other. For the 1st hour, there was only one copy of the song. Later on, when I hooked up my iTouch to see if my info corresponded to iTunes, I saw that there was additional copies of the same song on a few albums and some copies of individual songs. I didn't purchase them twice either. Now I have two copies on my iTouch but not my iTunes so I can't delete the additional copy.

    Right now, I tried deleting all of the music and resyncing it from my iTunes directly to my iTouch. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

  • Need help putting together two scenes in one frame

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to put together a movie project. The thing is I wanted to put together two video captures in one frame - one on the left and the other on the right. I've been reading threads here in the forums and there have been varying answers (sometimes misunderstanding the question) so I would give examples.
    Here's an example: Do you know those movies where the guy and the girl sing a duet but they are in different locations and to give a cinematic effect, the movie will put their faces side by side singing the same lines?
    Another example is when the good and the bad guys are about to face each other from different directions, the scene would be split such that the left side shows the good guys and the right side shows the bad guys.
    Is there a way in iMovie to do this?
    Thanks guys!

  • HP Laserjet CP1025nw Color Printer - printer prints two copies when only one is requested.

    pcwizard (HP) requested that I try Foxit Reader 5.1 to see if the printer will print properly.  I used the same previous document and printed it with Foxit Reader 5.1.  The printer printed two copies when only one was requested as it had done in the past.  We still have a problem.
    I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) for OS.  I have experience the issue on two different computers.

    Hi dslledyrt,
    Can you install the Basic Driver for the printer on one of the computers, and let me know if you still have this issue?

  • Getting two copies of print when only asking for one.

    Hi, whenever I send a job to print, I always seem to get two copies even though I have only requested one. It is wasting both paper and ink. Any ideas how correct this problem?. Thanks.

    Hello David,
    You could try resetting the printing system. This will remove your current print queues so you will have to add the printer queues again - but you will not need to install the driver software again.
    To reset the printing system...
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
    4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
    5. Restart your Mac

  • Canon MX310 Printing two copies when I only want one

    Hello-
    Whenever I print a document to the Canon printer, via printer sharing on my network, it prints two copies. Number of copies is always set to 1, but it prints two.
    It's crazy! Any ideas?
    Thank you

    I would suspect that it is something in the printer sharing, like two computers set to share it, and so the print job is sent to both of them. But you should try the usual suspects: Turn off printer sharing, reset the printing system on all computers, then add the printer on the sharing computer, turn on printer sharing on it, and then see if it still happens.

  • How to print two sides with one page?

    I have a PDF that is one page long and I'd like to print the same thing twice (front and back) on one page. Can I do that?
    I've tried printing two copies with the printer set to double-sided, but it just printed two sheets with one side on each sheet.

    Well sure; Go back to the authoring application that created the documents and do a 2-UP page. Make the existingg page large enough to accomodate the extra content. Is that what you're asking or do you really mean print to a printer with a back up ? In that case just flip the page over and print page 2 on the other side.
    Or are we missing something ?

  • CP1025nw won't print wirelessly​; two copies of printer appear in the network!

    My two Macs running Mountain Lion (10.8) won't print wirelessly to the HP CP1025nw. HP Setup Assistant can't find the printer after it's set up wirelessly. The computers see the printer wirelessly when I try to add it, but there are TWO copies of the printer, and they won't print. Sometimes they seem to think the printer is already in use, possibly because there are two copies. 
    The printer prints fine through USB, though.

    Same issue here, the CP1025nw can't print multiple copies UNLESS the user is a local administrator; which in this domain environment is not allowed. So another solution must be found.
    The common answer is to adjust the "mopier mode" however this driver does NOT allow for that to be changed. The universal drivers typically do have the mopier setting but I could not find any compatible colour universal 64bit drivers that would work with the CP1025nw.
    Even tried finding something in group policy and/or printer permissions, still no luck.
    Please help!
    We're all in it together.

  • HP Laserjet P3015 double sided - the last odd page prints on the same page when printing two copies

    HP Laserjet P3015 double sided printing is set up on Windows 7.  When printing two copies of a document, if it has odd number of pages, the last page is printed on both sides of the page. There is no page feed for the last page.
    Suppose say there are 3 pages in a document and you want to print two copies. It prints like 1/2, 1/2 and 3/3.  The third page (odd number) print on the same page. The last page page does not print on two pages.
    It works alright on Windows XP.

    Hope that you have configured the correct paper type and size in the printer hardware and also selecting the same paper tray, size, type from the printer driver while printing.
    It may be caused due to the job formatting done by the application software or some jobs settings done from the job/application or printer driver.  Check by toggling the 'collate' option and also try to print from a different application software.

  • How can I put two photos in one 6x4 print??

    Hello!! So I want to print out some of my photos for a scrapbook.
    I however do not want them all to be 6x4 sized prints and making smaller ones (scrapbook prints) at the photo shops cost too much.
    There HAS to be a way to just put two separate photos into one photo jpeg type file right? That way I can print them out normally and just cut them in half so some are smaller?
    Any help?
    Much appreciated!

    Your question is not clear
    do you want to
    1 - put two separate photos into one photo jpeg type file
    Or do you want to print two photos on one sheet of paper so you can
    2 - can print them out normally and just cut them in half so some are smaller
    For 1 you need an external editor - you can do it in pages for example
    for 2 you simply select the two photos, crop them so they will fit and print selecting the printer, paper size and print size (slightly smaller than 3x4 since there needs to be a small border around them and between them), if the priview does not show two photos on the page click customize and in setting select multiple photos per page - the preview will reflect this selection and finish printing

  • HOW DO I PRINT MULTIPLE COPIES OF ONE PHOTO ON A SINGLE PAGE?

    Since Apple has not made this feature available, I am not able to print multiple copies of a single photo on one page. HELP suggested I download Portraits and Prints which I could use for free. However, I have downloaded this and note that DEMO watermark will appear on all photos unless I purchase the program. Is there a way to print without the DEMO watermark using this program or is there another free program that will allow me to print multiple copies of a single photo on a single page? Please help as I have spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple and it has gotten me no closer to a solution - something I could easily have done on the older versions of I Photo. Thanks!

    Sadly, I have no pull down menu when I click on Customize or settings? I am using IPhoto 08 vers. 7.0.1. I was told by Apple HELP that this feature is not yet available, even though the instructions say to do exactly what you have said. But there is no pull down menu and no option to print multiple photos. It says print a single photo and it is clicked and I cannot unclick it. Any help would be appreciated. Do you actually have a pull down menu with Print Multiple Copies of One Photo as an option? What version of IPhoto provides this? Apple seems to think it is not available and it certainly isn't available on my system. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
