Printing too many copies

I have a g5 printing to an HP 5550 with OS X 10.3.9. I've downloaded the most recent driver from hp and installed it after removing the printer.
The g5 prints the same copy over and over to the printer, but doesn't do that with any other printer. No other client, mac or pc, prints multiple copies when attempting to print one.
Please let me know if you have any troubleshooting thoughts on this. Other than removing and re adding the printer do macs cache other printer information that I can reset?
Thank you

No good, Jack!
You could try this little utility and see if it can reset what you need. It can empty a cache and do a few other things besides.

Photosmart C6180 prints too many copies of PDFs and HTML-documents

Hi,
My Photosmart C6180 prints multiple copies of documents even if I haven't asked for it. This seems to only apply to PDFs and HTML-documents, I haven't seen it happen with Word/Excel. It's not consistent, it happens most of the time but now always for these documents. When I look at the console, when it has started printing I see shortly the status "Printing - Restarting". That's probably when it starts the 2nd copy. Sometimes it stops by itself, other times it seems to be looping and I have to turn the printer off and delete the document from the queue.
HP solution center SW is updated, I run Vista with latest service packs on a Thinkpad T400s.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

My C6180 printed multiple copies of any document from my Vista OS laptop ( wireless connection ), but not from my
XP OS desktop ( USB connection), even though I selected 1 copy on the print menu. Unchecking "Enable bidirectional support" in the Properties / Ports dialog box solved the problem. Hope this helps someone too.

C6180 prints too many copies

I know that others have posted on this exact issue, however thier solutions did not work. Below are the systems info:
OS is Win7 Ultimate 64bit (with all current updates)
64bit HP Software installed dated 9/2009 (using C6100 driver)
Bidirectional Printing is Disabled
Menu on printer is set to 1 (one) copy
Printer is used wirelessly only (have not tried usb cable) (not sure I have one anymore)
Printer prints fine from an XP Pro wireless mini. No matter if I set the copies to 1 (one), it will give me most of the time 4 or more depending on the number of pages. This is something that just started. Computer is clean (no virus or related threats detected). It does scan properly and the manual copy button on the device works correctly as well.
I have not tried un-installing and cleaning the HP software off yet, I wanted to see if someone had come across this first and see if they had found a fix before I go to that trouble, Thanks
John

Hello,
I have the exact same problem with an HPL7680. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and this just started recently after an HP Update in mid to late November. Like youi, I can print fine within the same network (with wired and wireless devices) with OSs that are non-Windows 7...specifically with Windows XP, I have no problems.
I uninstalled the software completely and reinstalled. The first few print jobs were OK and then it reverted back to printing 3-4 pages per job when the number of copies was one (1). It doesn't matter what application I am in and even the Test Page printed 3 pages. I opened up the print job dialogue to see what was going on and it always begins with 4/1 under pages and then reverts to 3/1 and will not delete the job after the first print cycle. I checked the Windows XP print dialogue and it does the same, however, it immediately deletes the print job after the first copy...no problems.
I distinctly believe this has to do with that update. I am attempting to restore the system, however, I cannot find a restore point for the update.
Does HP Tech have any input on this? I only have so much ink and paper I can afford before I trash this HP.

Too many copies installed

I keep getting warning at PE9 startup that I have installed PE9 on too many computers even though I have uninstalled on all but the 2 permitted. How do I get rid of this warning? It is a registration box at startup requesting product code etc. It keeps indicating that I still have PE9 installed on more than 2 computers, when it is not the case.

You will need to contact activation support:

Stopping Crystal Printing Too Many Records

I have a report in crystal. It is showing some details held on our Case Management System. If people merge in the template twice they end up with a set of 8 blank details in their case. This in turn forces Crystal to print many rows for each of these cases as it prints ever possible combination of answers for each detail. As a result I had 540,000 records instead of 1 this morning.
Does anyone know if there is anyway to stop this happening, an option to stop Crystal printing more than say 100,000 records?
Thanks,
Alastair

Use the Record count in the record selection forumla or use a stored procedure.

Am I trying to print too many Contacts at once?

I have over 2000 contacts in my Address Book, and when I try to print I get the "Preparing" window forever. I can break it down to smaller groups, but I'm wondering if there's a limit to how many contacts Address Book can print in one pass. Any ideas?

You really can't. Try downloading them on your computer and sync. Next try restoring from backup.

Prints too many pages

I told the printer to print 10 copies from The Print Shop 23.1 and I removed the paper after printing 30 copies. Deleted the print job. If I copy the document, it prints the correct amount. Any ideas??

> However, I don't seem to have the Tiling option in my Print Dialog box, in the Scaling menu.
This option is available in Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

Losing tunes/too many copies on external drive

I keep my itunes library on an external drive, as it is far too large for my laptop. Now and again, I undock the machine. Redocking (and relocating the library, frequently ), I end with itunes losing many tunes, and, alternately, with tons of missing tunes, and also tons of duplicated tunes. Now and again so many are missing I re-add the itunes folder to the 'library', and hence get a zillion duplicates. I spend hours every couple of months dealing with these problems.
Is there a way for itunes to automatically delete all the "missing" files?
Is there a way, other than manually (see hours) to delete all the duplicated files?
If no to both of these, is there a better solution for an external library than itunes?
Thanks for your help, intarwebs!

PhotoSmart C7280 Spits Out Too Many Copies

Hello - I am now successfully connected to the above printer from our Windows7 system. However, the printer prints multiple copies. Ex. when I send one copy to print I go downstairs to the printer and find anywhere between 4 and 14 copies on the out tray. Are there any recommended adjustments to be made?

I am employed by HP

I moved my applications folder to the desktop, but modified the applications in my dock, and now i have too many copies of the applications folder and cant get rid of them without being unable to use the applications :(

I moved my applications folder to the desktop when i first got my imac. now i want to get rid of it, but when i put it in the trash, it wont let me use the applications, even though they are in more than one folder. I am at a loss of what to do now cause i have two copies of everything. please help me figure this out.

Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

Exchange printing too many pages

I have and individual on exchange, that every time they want to print E-Mail it prints about 70 or 80 pages more then the one page they are trying to print. I have this person on the same printers with drivers that work for a hundred other people
so I figured there must be something wrong with the Exchange profile so I deleted it and started again. The same thing happened. Any ideas?

I had the same issue.
It was solved by;
Forward the email
Selecting everything in the mail
And finally remove all formatting. (The upper right icon in the basic text group)
(Not certain how the functions are named in the english version as i use the norwegian version of Office 2010)

Upgraded to new MacBook and now Office activation is declined because of too many users. How do I delete Office registration for my old computer?

Help please. I upgraded to a new macbook and migrated everything. However, Office will not activate because it says too many copies are active. How do I delete the activiation for my old laptop? Thanks.

Use the Office activation phone number and call the automated activation menu. It will ask you how many installations you have. It will then issue you a new code for your new installation. Make sure your old installation is removed.

I have too many song duplicates

I am having a problem with song duplicates. In transferring music from my pc to powerbook via an ipod, too many copies were copied from the ipod onto both my hard drive and itunes. What is the best solution to this problem?

Attempted to set up an HP wireless printer and my whole network is now a mess. HP help told me I had too many signals, as I have a Time Capsule 4 Macs and 4 Airport Express set up. Anyone else figure this out?

I attempted to set up a new HP wireless printer. It is unstable and HP support says I have too many devices since I have a time capsule and 4 airport express either extending my network or being used for a different printer or stereos. Anyone else find that their Airport Express/Extreme interferes with a wireless printer. If so, what's the point?

I have a similar model, the HP 8500A here in the home office that I originally hooked up using wireless on an AirPort system consisting of an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and 2 AirPort Express devices.
The HP was originally hooked up to the "main" router using wireless as a test to see how wireless would perform. No issues with setup or performance over the first few weeks. I did eventually change the device to connect using Ethernet once I had room to move the device near the AirPort Extreme.
HP is pulling your leg with the advice about too many devices. The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule will handle up to 50 wireless devices. In my case, I did nothing except follow the setup procedure and restart the entire network....something that I always do when I make any change to the network.

Too Many Prints From The cmn_err

Hi All,
I need some help and pointers regarding driver programming on solaris 10 kernel.
I have a module that has been ported in the kernel space. And I have changed all
the printfs to cmn_err as the simplest logging mechanism and it prints the messages in /var/adm/messages. I have three queries:
1)     Due to bug, system panics in some code leg. However, all the prints by that time are not visible in the /var/adm/messages log. Most likely, the kernel panics before all the prints have a chance to be copied to the messages file. This creates a problem because prints do not correctly represent the amount of code that was successfully executed and hence debugging becomes difficult. Is there a way that could cause 'flushing' of messages to the /var/adm/messages file?
2)     In case 'flushing' is not possible, is there a way to read the remaining message buffer from the crash file generated on reboot? Can it be viewed using mdb crash analysis?
3)     While debugging a "bad stack overflow" condition, I found that if I disabled all the prints, system did not panic and the "bad stack overflow" did not occur. Does anybody know if too many cmn_err prints can cause kernel panic?
Any pointers to manuals/articles or other material will be greatly appreciated. I am ready to RTFM if only somebody would point to it.
Thanks in advance,
Ashutosh

For this to happen i guess they have a bad senderbase reputation, ie below -1.0?
What you can do is that you can add the IP-adress into a new SenderGroup in your Host Access Table (HAT overview) with a "Mail Flow Policy" that allows more connections from their IP-adress. Don't allow too many though if they have problems in their network, and make sure Anti-virus scanning and Spam control is enabled in the Policy settings too.
You can indentify which "SenderGroup" your ISP is connecting into and what SenderBase repuataion score they might have. Use "message tracking" in WebUI, or "findevent" in command line interface to find this out.
