HP Color LaserJet 5550 - Copies Multiplied
 

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone might be able to point in the right direction with
this.

At work, we have a HP Color LaserJet 5550 which is on our
network/domain. Some users have complained that the printer is printing
a multiple of the copies requested.

For example if a user selects to print 2 copies of a document, 4 copies
will print. If they choose 3 copies, 9 copies will print. (2 x 2 = 4
and 3 x 3 = 9).

This only happens for some users who are all located in a certain area
of the building which to me points to it being a network issue but I'm
not sure of how to trouble shoot this to find the cause.

Could it be anything to do with a faulty switch do you think?

Anyway, hope someone can give me some kind of idea of how to go forward
with this.

Thanks in advance.

My guess is that one of the group thinks they have to set both the
application and the printer driver to print multiple copies. That would
explain the multiplication.

Then that member of the group showed all the others how to do it.

Seems unlikely. I can think of ways to do that, but not to come up with
the multiplication.

Thanks for getting back to me Warren - much appreciated. :)

I've checked everyone's settings and no-one has multiple copies set-up
anywhere as default - good idea though which would have explained the
issue.

Restating the problem:

One Color LaserJet 5550n, attached directly to the network.
Some users can print multiple copies to the printer just fine. Other
users of the very same printer get four copies if they ask for two, 9
copies if they ask for three, 16 copies if they ask for four.

Here are the things I'd check:

What operating system?
Printer attached only to network, or network and USB/parallel?
Latest versions of the print driver installed?
Is Citrix or thin client stuff involved?
Tried PostScript drivers instead of PCL, or vice versa?
What application is printing multiple copies?
Do *all* applications print multiple copies?

Now compare this information with one of the that computers doesn't have
the problem. Any differences?
