@Mimler4, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

It sounds frustrating to deal with your printer printing multiple copies unexpectedly. Let's try to fix this issue together. Here are a few steps you can follow:

Check Print Settings:

• Open the document you want to print.
• Go to the print dialog box (usually found under "File" > "Print").
• Ensure the "Number of copies" is set to 1.

Update Printer Drivers:

• Sometimes outdated drivers can cause printing issues. Visit the HP Support website to download and install the latest drivers for your printer model.

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor:

• HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor that can help diagnose and fix printing issues. You can download it here.

Check for Bidirectional Support:

• Go to "Control Panel" > "Devices and Printers".
• Right-click on your HP printer and select "Printer Properties".
• Under the "Ports" tab, uncheck "Enable bidirectional support" and click "Apply".

Reinstall Printer Drivers:

• If the issue persists, uninstall the printer drivers and reinstall them:
  • Open "Control Panel" > "Programs and Features".
  • Find your HP printer, select it, and click "Uninstall".
  • Go to "Devices and Printers", right-click on your printer, and select "Remove device".
  • Reinstall the drivers from the HP Support website. 

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
