Stop printing unwanted copies

[PeterOz]

I already reinstalled Windows in march. See [URL unfurl="true"]https://pchelpforum.net/t/cannot-install-windows-10-from-dvd-or-usb-stick.73833/[/URL]
The printer troubles appeared on a clean install. On the previous install on this PC it worked normally.

Yes I know that
That’s why I think something went wrong.
Let’s ask @Pyro

Looked into it a little, and saw this recommended on HP’s support forum, it might be worth a shot if you haven’t done it already:

“Deselect the checkbox “Enable two-way communication” on the “Ports” tab of the printer properties.”

There were minor problems during the isntallation of Windows 10 (after the hard drive problems were solved), but if I have to reinstall every time there is a problem, it may take weeks to install Windows.

I hadn’t seen that suggestion about the two-waqy communication yet. I’ll probably try it this afternoon.

I reinstalled the printer as TCP/IP printer using already installed driver chosen by Windows. Test page printed fine. Printing from Foxit reader again resulted in an attempt to print extra copies.

On the tab ‘Poorten’ I disabled the setting ‘Ondersteuning in twee richtingen inschakelen’.

I again instructed the HP LaserJet 1022n to print from Foxit Reader and something extraordinary happened. It printed correctly without trying to print extra pages.
From LibreOffice Writer : the same.

So, it looks like the problem is solved. I wonder what the downside is of disabling two-way communiction.

Thank you for your help guys.

Monitor it for a little bit and see if anything out of the ordinary is happening. Don’t forget to update us!

and this week’s Gold Star goes to @Pyro! ⭐
good find.

@Amoranemix2 - with the latest success, I’ll close this as solved now.
PM any staffer to have it re-opened if you have further updates.
