Windows PC can only print one copy at a time

I've got a PC connected to a Mac printer via Bonjour. It works fine, except for this new quirk we discovered today... when attempting to print 30 copies of a PDF, only 1 copy would print. Any suggestions (other than hitting Print 30 times in a row)?

Do you have a Brother printer by chance?

Can only print one copy at a time in AppleWorks since upgrading to Tiger

Since upgrading to Tiger 10.4.3, (now using version10.4.6) and AppleWorks 6.2.9, I cannot print more than one copy of my document using either of my Epson printers, a R200 and a C86. I did not have this problem with Panther and AW 6.
Apple techs said to reinstalled AW, did not help. Then did a complete archive and reinstall of Tiger, no help, then created a new preference folder, no help.
I found by trial and error that my Grammarian spell and grammar program by Linguisoft uses an input method to be active in order to correct AW documents. I sent them an email and their reply was, this is a bug in Mac OS X 10.4.x (all versions as of Nov, 2005) Specifically, if an input method is active, you will be unable to edit the number of copies or page range values in the dialog versions of Print and Page Setup. This is not a problem in the sheet versions of Print and Page Setup.
Certain older applications still use these dialogs (i.e., AppleWorks) instead of the more appropriate sheet equivalents. To clarify the difference, the sheet versions are "attached" to the actual document you are printing (take a look at, say, TextEdit), while the dialog versions appear modally in front of all document windows in applications that use them.
I wrote a three page letter to Apple and received a call from them, it seems that for now no upgrades to correct this problem is in the works, so for now I will have to make my corrections to all documents that I am working on, then change the input method in Grammarian and print my copies, then go back and make Grammarian active again.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem or am I the only one?

Hello DaisyMay,
You're quite welcome. Very glad to hear it helped!
Yet I'd like to mention the true ones of merit are the contributors of the original Japanese thread. I've just summarized and translated a bit.
Regarding why it takes so long to fix this bug/flaw, I suspect that it is because it won't affect the majority of American users who do not use input method at all, and besides, it seemingly affects only Carbon API, that Apple Computer Inc. is liable to neglect lately.
However, input method is a vital piece in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages, and any other languages that use more than 256 characters, and also quite a few Carbon applications are still in service, so for us (Japanese, e.g.), this bug/flaw is quite unacceptable.
It's new for me to know a non-CJK program, Grammarian, uses input method. Now I understand you'd see this bug/flaw unacceptable as well!
At least one of the contributors of Japanese thread said he let Apple Computer Japan know this problem via official telephone support channel. Also other said that Ergosoft Corp., the maker of EGWord, stated that this is a known-issue of OSX10.4 and they can do nothing but wait for Apple to fix it. Ergosoft has been specialized to Macintosh platform since 1984, so it's quite unlikely they had not reported this problem to Apple via developer channel.
After all, I think Apple knows this problem, whether a bug or a flaw.
Well, possibly, it might not be sufficient for an end-user to point out the problem via Apple's telephone support channel...
In such case, you may try this form -
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
In my humble opinion, they should shortly fix this, and meanwhile they should promptly publish the user-proposed work-around methods as a Knowledge Base article.
Have beautiful May,

Can only print one copy

Can only print one item at a time

Hey everyone,
Bit of a Photoshop novice here, use it for DVD covers and labels. I have been using CS3 previously but upgraded to CS5.5 last year. The thing is on CS5.5 I can only print one page at a time even when I input say 20 copies to be printed, only one will print. That goes for the regular printer for printing covers and the disc printer.
I can open CS3 up and right away it will print however many I ask it to.
Is there something I am missing? Something so painfully obvious that it is staring me in the face but I am just not seeing it?
Thanks in advance!

It isn't a printer setting. I have 3 different printers connected to my system and all of them worked with CS3 fine. And when I delete the preferences folder for CS5.1 it works as it should but only once, then afterwards it only prints one copy, no matter how many I ask it to print!
So if it works when the preferences have been removed, then fails to work afterwards, how can that be a printer setting?
I have read elsewhere that others have had similar issues with CS5 and Windows 7.

Networked HP Laserjet 1022 only prints one copy at a time!!

Hi, I am using a HP Laserjet 1022 printer connected to a Windows Network. Although the exact driver is not listed I get around using the closest driver in the list. Under Tiger everything was fine, after upgrading to Leopard I can only print one copy of a document at a time. When I put any number of copies in the box only one copy is printed.
Thank you in advance.

read this thread here and my solutions about the 1020.
The driver is also for 1022.
Works great with leopard and 1020, needs to work perfect with leopard and 1022.
Download and do as I describe.

Power View can only print one sheet at a time with Power BI Mobile Apps

I have PowerView for Excel 2013 on Power BI Preview. I have 2 reports sheet and 2 hidden data sheets on Excel.
I'm getting error on Mobile Application in Windows 8 RT tablet.
I should see 4 reports in preview page, but I see 2 correct reports and 2 errors.
Power View can only print one sheet at a time. Please switch to the desired sheet and try again.
Why this occurs? What should done in Excel?
Kenny_I

Thank you for reporting this issue. This is a known issue that we had fixed last week. In a few days, the updated version of the app will be available in the Windows store. At that time, your app should automatically get updated to the newest version, if
you have not changed your default settings.
If you still experience issues next week this time, please post back and perhaps share your workbook, so we can do a thorough investigation.
Thank you.

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

I've never used Print Booklet or your printer, but some things are determined by the printer and printer software, rather than the program from which you are printing. You might want to see if Xerox's website has any info also.

Can only print one page at a time

Using Adobe Reader 9.4.2
Operating system Arch Linux
Printer Brother DCP-115C
When trying to print more than one page at a time in a PDF document,
Adobe Reader appears to create the print
the print job appears in my print queue
the printer says 'Receiving Data', but only momentarily
the printer resumes 'normal' status
the printer does not print anything
It is as if there is very little data actually sent to the printer, even though the print job appears to be 254k in size
When I try to print one page at a time from a PDF document
Adobe Reader appears to create the print
the print job appears in my print queue
the printer says 'Receiving Data' for several seconds
the printer prints the page
no problem
It seems to me that Adobe is creating a print job (for multiple pages) that the printer either does not understand, or the printer believes that there is nothing to print.
I am able to print everything that I need to, but only one page at a time!
Does anyone else experience this problem? Do you know how to overcome this?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Imposed document only prints one copy at a time

Hi,
Printing a 100 page 25 sheet imposed 8.5 x 14 Acrobat document is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first copy printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one,
printer default is set for 8.5 x 14 and first print ran from drawer 2.
Older CS 2 imposed files, imposed by Lowly Apprentice, still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex.
OS 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel.
ID CS5 book > flight test clear > .pdf > open with Acrobat 9.3.2 > impose with Quite Imposing > save imposed pdf > prints only one at a time
then printer stops and asks for different paper in different drawer.
Garrett

Hi Garrett,
I'm glad your back in production. As for the issue you're having with the printer you'll have to contact HP or Adobe.
Quite Imposing Plus doesn't Print, it just imposes the PDF pages and Acrobat is the Printer.
I'll send this off to Engineering to see if they have any other thought why it might be doing this. However, if all the pages are the same size and the orientation is the same, I've never heard of Acrobat and HP not printing correctly.
cheers,
Charles

Subject: One copy only
Hi Charles, I have a second printer related symptom you might wish to know. Printing is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one, printer default is set for 8.5 x 14, first print ran from drawer 2. Older imposed files from CS 2, not qi, still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex, slow yet reliable, and repairable. OS 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel. CS5 with Acrobat 9.3.2 Luckily, I'm probably the smallest international publisher on planet earth. Not so luckily, with eleven years of untrained habits. Anyway, I figured I should run this by you first. Thanks for putting me back in production. Cheers, Garrett PS > The auto rotate and center function on/off selectors are grouped as one, Acrobat print dialog; result in preview is vertical instead of landscape, one page rather than two.

Hp laserjet 5550n forgets jobs, can only print one copy of a doc at a time

We're using a Laserjet 5550n in a small office running Mac OS X 10.3.9 to 10.4.6.
We're encountering countless problems when trying to print, and I'm pretty sure I've ruled out the computer setup as the culprit (reset printing system, emptied CUPS caches, repaired permissions, used 'printer setup repair', etc ).
Whenever I try to print multiple copies of the same page it says
*Unable to store job at printer
*Insufficient disk space for this job'
However, storing jobs is switched off anyway!
Another huge problem is that the printer simply 'forgets' large printing jobs. CUPS (at http://127.0.0.1:631) says "printer processing, "Ready to print."", and then just goes back to 'idle'.
When you expect the printed pages to come out nothing happens, and the printer hasn't even started blinking.
We've had this printer for 16 months now, and the problems started just when the warranty had run out.
The 5550n has no additional memory than what it came with
DIMM Slot : 128 MB DDR
DIMM Slot 2: Empty
CARD SLOT 1: 32 MB F/W FLASH
I've tried upgrading the firmware to the latest version (20060403 07.009.0), to no avail.
Is there a more detailed log somewhere that I could try looking at to figure out what's going on? The printer web interface Event Log is useless without more detailed explanation.
The printer doesn't give any error messages (though at some point in the past it did say things like "card slot not initalized" or "49.xxxx PRINTER ERROR". I then reinitialised the memory I think ( the 49.xxx error disappeared after that).
I read somewhere about bad RAM or corrupted flash memory. Is there a way to find out if that's the cause?
Many thanks for any ideas.

I did that - It doesn't list any obvious (well, to me) errors. The job that the printer 'forgot' seems to have come through OK, at least on the computer side.

Firefox won't open, instead a pop-up says something like, "You already have one copy running. You can only use one copy at a time. ( It happens repeatedly (I am using a iMac 10.4.11)

I'm trying to open Firefox because, was told the FireFTP is great to use in getting my (completed on iWeb) Website up and running, but I can't even get Firefox to open up, no matter what I have tried. What is it I am doing wrong or missing?!.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I uninstalled it, closed FF in Safe-Mode, reopened it and, ta da!
THANK YOU!

Can only print one page to the Adobe PDF printer "device".

When I print to the Adobe PDF printer device I can only print one document. When I print a second document I get the message "Adobe PDF Creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated." However, if I reboot, I can again print a single document.
I'm running Windows 7 pro-64 bit. I have Adobe Acrobat X pro, version 10.1.7 installed AND ACTIVATED.
Any suggestions for solving this damn headache would be much appreciated. I'm sure tired of rebooting to print PDFs.
George Sundell

OK, here are a couple of ideas to try....
Go to Help and try Detect and Repair.
If you have Acrobat, you can try to distill the document or try a Save As

When downloading i can only download one link at a time per window. i used to be able to download six links at a time per page. how do i go back to this?

got a new laptop. unsure of firefox verson on old as the computer quit taking a charge.
but essentially on my old laptop if a window had six downloadable links i would be able to download all six at once. now i can only download one link at a time. this is very annoying. i do not believe it is an issue with the new laptop itself as it is a highend toshiba.

Hello cherokeeguy, go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] find [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server] right-click on it, select modify and put a greater value, try 10 or 16, click ok to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
BUT this normally should not happen !
check it also in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode], select '''''"Start in Safe Mode" '''''and see if this happen again, if not see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]
also try to update to the latest firefox 16.0.1

Can only print ONE document then have to reset Airport Express to print aga

The title says it all.
Everything used to work fine until I installed Leopard. Now I can only print one document; subsequent documents will hang at 16% or 28%, etc.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Mark

No, you are not the only person with the problem. I have tried it with both a "g" and an "n" Express (I bought the "n" hoping it might work better; nope). I have a Samsung CLP-510 plugged in to it. It prints one document, then I have to reset the Express before it will print again. When it tries to print the next document, it flashes "Unable to open device (read failure)!" briefly, then pauses the printer.
It's been driving me crazy since I installed Leopard, so I basically gave up on the Express as a print server as there seems to be no cure, and Apple seems to have no interest in fixing it. (I have been through several firmware updates since the problem started, and none have made any difference).
+Oddly, though, just now after the seventh reset, it accepted 6 of the documents in my queue (I had 22 in the queue, and I've just been waiting for it to pause, then resetting the router for each document) before it failed.+
