OfficeJet 6962 Will Not Print When Commanded To Print Multiple Copies

[nplawyer]

I have a OfficeJet 6962 printer.  Today it stopped printing multiple copies.  Prior to this morning it printed multiples just fine.  Today I attempted to print multiple copies of several documents, and nothing printed.  The printer beeped like it was going to print, the print screen flashed briefly, and then nothing.  Nothing printed.  If I print one copie, no problem.  This is a new phenomenon.  I have looked at forums for other printers and attempted to follow instructions there, however, in the device settings, the only thing that shows up in Installable Options is the Automatic Duplexing Unit.  There is Mopier setting as appears to be a common issue for other HP printers.  I also use HP Instant Ink, and all the disappeared print jobs appear to be registering there, even though nothing is printing.

It doesn't seem to matter which program.  I got the same results with PDFs through acrobat, PDFs through Google Chrome, Google Docs, Word Docs, same result.

@nplawyer

Thank you for the response. Did you try re-installing the print driver as suggested in my previous post?

If you have tried it and the issue persists, use Windows built-in drivers that may resolve this issue.

Refer to the steps mentioned in this document.

Keep me posted for further assistance.
