Only prints one copy

I have vista business and Office 2007. However whatever programme I print
from, only one copy prints out no matter how many I choose to print in the
print dialog box.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks

Re: Only prints one copy

I have windows vista home edition and experience the same thing. Even
though I am printing 20 copies of one sheet I have have to click on
"collate" otherwise just one sheet is printed.
Hope this helps.

Note the print processor selected in Printer, Properties, Advanced, Print

If it is something other than winprint, change to winprint and see if that
will print the proper number of pages.

Re: Only prints one copy

I have a similar problem. The cause is the printer driver that is marginally
compatible with Vista. Case in point: I have a LaserJet 3015. I can print to
it from any application with my Vista PC but I cannot take advantage of the
"advanced" features of the printer...multiple copies being one of them.
While HP claims the driver "supports" Vista...they fail to mention their
unique definition of the word "support". HP has no plans to update their
driver (I have gone multiple rounds with HP tech support). I am stuck with
living with the problem or replacing my 1.5 year-old printer (with a non-HP
printer this time).

The OP does not mention the make/model of the printer but perhaps the cause
is in the driver.

Re: Only prints one copy

Similar problem with a HP laserjet 1320. I found on the site for HP a
solution written for a similar problem under XP but which works for me under
Vista (32 & 64b):

Select Start, then Printers

Right-click the HP LaserJet xxxx series printer icon and select Properties.
(there I rightclicked on the icon to open the properties as an administrator)

Select the Device Settings tab.

Find the Mopier Mode and Job Storage settings.

Change the settings from Enabled to Disabled.

Click Apply and OK.

Try to print the job again.

Regards

Vista 32 and 64
 
 

Re: Only prints one copy

I am using Vista Home Professional 32 and 64 on 2 different machines. I have a Brother MFC-640-CW all in one printer.
When using Office 2007 I've gotten around this problem by turning off the print spooler (Brother told me it was the Vista Print Spooler after spending weeks on the phone with their tech support). However, recently, I discovered that I have the same problem when printing files from Adobe Reader (which now are crucial to my business). I have done everything mentioned in this thread, except there is no mopier device settings for my printer.
Elsewhere I read that there is a bug with Vista's printer dialog box regarding the number of copies. That one should set the number of copies in the printer default settings. I tried that, and it doesn't work either - at least not for printing from Acrobat Reader. I had 2 different version of Acrobat that did the same thing on 2 different computers, but they are now both 8.1.2.

Because I don't have this problem when doing extensive tests with the printer driver and Brother support, and I don't have problems with my XP machines, it logically means the problem is in Vista. This has cost me more time than all of my equipment and software costs put together. Someone is not doing their job.

Re: Only prints one copy

I've had the same problem with my Brother MFC-440CN and Vista Home Basic.
Try changing Printer properties (Control Panel\Printers) and click Advanced\Printer Processor button. Here you can try to change Printer processor: WinPrint, ModiPrint, hpzpplhn, LMPRTPRC.

I solved my problem choosing hpzpplhn (RAW). For Lexmarks you can try WinPrint (NT EMF 1.008) etc. Hope this works for you! Let me know...

Ciao!
