HP Photosmart all in one C309a printing multiple copies when its set to print only one copy.

having issues with my C309a its now printing multiple copys when its set to print only one copy.it started doing this 4 days ago and its happening on both my Windows 7 64 bit computer and my Vista 32 computer that both have the latest release drivers already installed need help.HP please sort this issue out.still under warranty do i have to return it?

I am using a Motorola SBG900 Wirless Surfboard Gateway - supplied with Bigpond Cable. It is set to be using WPA security and have never had a problem with it before whilst connecting any wireless devices such as a laptop, PDA etc.
My feeling is that the wireless functionality of this printer needs some serious work before the next release. And furthermore they should never have released it the way it is as it wouldn't pass 5% of user acceptance tests if using wireless. There are too many complaints on this forum and others about similar problems to suggest that I am not by myself here. Dissapointing considering this is the feature that would be at the top of the list of most purchasing this model. It lets down what could of been a vg printer.
I agree, I think if I want to get this printer working on a wirless network, I will have to set the IP address manually. The problem is the printer refuses to connect to the router now even after it connected a few days ago with no intervention. I have powered down both the router, PC, and printer without any luck yet. I will set the IP address manually first on the printer and see how it goes, then if it connects will see if the PC/router can see the printer during the SW install procedure which has failed >10 times to date.
For now I think I will stick with Ethernet as it is no doubt much faster anyway and will try the wirless setup again in a few days when my patience grows back. Does anyone know differences in speed between USB/Wireless/Ethernet? I know this is dependant on a number of things but just interested in ball park figures here.

HP printer will not print multiple copies of docs using new HP Pavilion HPE Series PC.

I purchased a new HP desktop computer with Windows 7. I connected my existing HP laser jet printer to the new PC and the drivers installed successfully. When I want to print multiple copies of a document the printer only prints one copy and stops. I can print multiple copies on my Kodak color printer from the new PC. I did not have this problem with my old PC. The issue only exists between the new PC and the existing HP laserjet printer. I have checked all printer preferences and settings to no avail. Any suggestions for further trouble-shooting?

printer model? is your win 7, 32 bit or 64 bit?

MG7520 Printing Multiple Copies

I'm having this odd issue where my brand new MG7520 is printing multiple copies of a document, despite my only requesting one copy. It doesn't always seemt to do it, printing from Adobe Reader is fine, I get just one copy, but printing a webpage will just result in many copies of the same thing until I cancel the job. Seems very odd, any idea why this might be happening. Appreciate any insight anyone might have.

Essentially the printer is a passive device and it really only does what it is told to do. Probably a wonky network issue, but could also be settings you inadvertantly changed (like how many copies you want printed).
Do you have a USB cable? You can try to install it via USB then print to see whether it's the computer sending weird commands or if it's the network.

How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper? Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper? Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos

6110 All-in-one sometimes will not print multiple copies

I have had this problem for sometime now. I searched the forum and found the Mopier solution for laserjets, but the 6110 does not have this setting. The same question regarding the 6110 went unanswered in the only post I found for it.
I am using the 6110 on WinXP Pro and connected by USB
Often times when I try to print multiple copies of a document (MS Word or MS Works as examples) I check 2 copies in the selection box but the printer only prints one copy. I then have to click Print again. What is strange is, sometimes it performs fine and others it will not print more than one copy at a time. Sometimes it SEEMS that if I change the "collate" checkmark it works, but proper functioning does not seem to be able to be recreated every time.
I do not get any error messages, the darn thing just acts like I have 1 copy selected rahter than two. I notice that when this happens and I go to print a second copy, the dialogue box has reverted back to 1 copy, but in those few times when it DOES print 2 copies, if I go back and select Print, it still shows 2 for the number of copies.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi there,
To make sure the software side of the house is in order lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

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.

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1?

How can I print multiple copies of same photo onto one page on iPhoto 9.5.1? I was able to do it on the old iPhoto, but can't seem to be able to do it on the new iPhoto. Grrr...

Photos does the same thing.... Only workaround I can come up with is to create a template in Pages and copy & paste.

How to print multiple copies on one page ?

How to print multiple copies of one document on one page ?
in coreldraw I used to make the document -for example a business card 5x9 - and when sending to print it automatically placed the number of cards that would fit in my A4 sheet.
how do I make the same operation in Indesign.
thanks

Hi, Peter S.
>I can see that as a shortcut to printing a page of different cards for multiple people, but to do a simple n-up of a single card it seems overly complex to me. What am I missing?
* It's just an alternative to copy/paste and step/repeat.
* For a one-time only use, perhaps it's a little more complex than necessary. But for any future needs, only the content of the data file needs to be changed, either by editing, or by pointing to a new data file. If different cards for multiple people becomes necessary, it's ready to go.

Printing multiple copies of one photo on one sheet

Since I don't find this on the forum, I must be the only one who can't figure out how to do this, but before I upgraded, when selecting "print", I could also select how many photos per page, and I could print out one page with more than one copy of a photo. For example a whole sheet of wallet size, or two 5X7s on the same sheet. I can't find this selection option any more. Where is it?
Thanks,
Quonkeree

If you go back there is a solution (workaround) that as I remember involves picking the photo you wnat to print multiple copies of and other photos to bring the count up to what you want to print (2, 4, 9 etc) then somewhere down the way in the print process replacing the photos you used a placeholders with the one you want to print giving you multiple up of the same photo - I have NOT done this but it was described sometime recently on this forum - try a search

What version of iPhoto?
The general process is to select the photo and print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize and under settings selec multiples copies of a photo (the preview will reflect this choice) and click print to print, make any printer specific selections and click print to print

HP Laserjet 1022nw printing multiple copies

HELP! Ever since I purchased my new laptop with Windows 7, my LaserJet has been going crazy. I reinstalled new drivers and used the HP diagnostic tool and it says "all is working correctly". However, when I print a document of any size (even if just one page), the printer keeps re-printing multiple copies until the paper runs out or I turn the printer off. I have un-installed and reinstalled several times and the same issue keeps happening. I posted on the forum and one other person related that he had the same issue, but to this date neither of us have been able to correct it. I love my laser jet when it works, but have resorted to using my hp photosmart 7960 instead (higher cost of ink!). And this sucks because sometimes I have 50-100 page documents that I need to print. Laser is so much faster. Thanks in advance for the expert advice I know you are going to give me and the solution that I KNOW that you must have.

How to print multiple copies of same image (with specific fixed dimensions) on single page

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 on Win 7 PC. I am trying to print multiple copies of one image on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper? The images are artwork for buttons (to be used in button-making machine) so the dimensions must be exact on the duplicated images. When I select Picture Package, the images are resized to fit the dimensions in the picture package. When I select Contact Sheet, the images are resized to fit the number of columns I selected. Neither is acceptable. How can I repeat the same image on a single piece of paper without having the system re-size the image? I know that I can manually create a new PSE file and manually insert the images into this file. This is what I have been doing as a work-around. But I would hope there is a better/faster way.
Thank-you!

A variation of hatstead's method where the pictures are precisely aligned:
1. Add the picture to the blank file as hatstead described. Use the Move tool to position the picture in the upper left corner.
2. Duplicate the layer. Use the arrow keys (NOT the mouse) to move the new layer to the right.
3. Repeat step 2 until the row is filled:
4. Merge Down the 3 layers into one. Alternatively, link the 3 layers and do a Merge Linked as in this example. The end result is the pictures in the row are on one layer:
5. Duplicate the layer and use the arrow keys to move this down to the 2nd row.
6. Repeat step 5 to create additional rows.
7. Finally, to center the whole thing on the sheet, link all the row layers and position with the arrow keys.
Note that you can also custom-make your own Picture Package. Instructions for this should be somewhere in Help.

Can I print multiple copies of the same picture on iphoto 9.5

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade. Can anyone see how to do this now?

It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

Laserjet 5000 with windows 7 driver cannot print multiple copies unless disabling mopier

Customer has Laserjet 5000 that they have been using for approx 5 years. It is connected to one computer with the standard parallel cable and the driver is using lpt1. It is used mainly to print word documents and a multi page publisher document. The computer used to be a windows xp computer and all worked well with the PCL6 driver and that is the only driver that was used
They just bought a new Windows 7 32 bit computer and now it has lost some of the functionality.
The first driver that was loaded was the driver that Windows 7 used after you use the windows update button that you get during the add printer wizard. I think it was the pcl 5 driver as that is the driver that the computer will install if you remove the printer and then restart the computer. Using this driver, when you choose to print more than one page or multiple copies, it will just print the first page or copy and there will not be any errors displayed.
I have since downloaded the PCL6 driver, PS driver and PCL5 driver from HP's website and tried all of them.
The PS driver will print more than one page, but when it gets to about the 4th page the printer prints out an error page. The error is PCL XL error, Subsystem: Kernel, Error: Unsupported protocol, Operator 0x0, Position:0
The PCl 6 driver will print the same error page and not print any print jobs, even if it is just a single page, single copy job.
The pcl 5 driver prints one page and then stops printing, no errors.
When I disable the mopier under device settings, the pcl5 driver will print everything just fine. Only problem is, it will not collate. The collate checkbox is available and checked when we try the multiple page multiple copy publisher document, but it just prints out as if we do not have collate checked. If we could get collation to work, than we are good to go.
I have not tried the PS driver with the mopier disabled.
The PCL6 driver stills returns the pcl xl error with the mopier disabled.
The printer does not have any extra memory, just the 4 mb standard that came with the printer. I am wondering if this is a memory issue triggered by Windows 7and I just need to get more memory for the printer. (Computer has 4 gb of memory)
Anybody else have a similar issue and got theirs fixed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi jnickelsen,
I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
What drivers are you using?
Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.
Find and Fix Common Printer Problems Using HP Diagnostic Tools for Windows.
Hope this helps.
