How to fix printer from making multiple copies when only selecting 1.

I'm guessing the printer went to sleep.  From my own experience, if it doesn't print away right away I click print again and after three or four times I realize the printer still hasn't woken up yet and I'm going to get a whole lot of copies that I don't want when it finally wakes up.

 

You might be able to program the printer not to sleep.

 Access the printers embedded web page and set sleep to off or never.

It could also be that default number of copies was set to larger than "1" and needs to be set back to 1.
