Title: HP Color LaserJet 5550 Printing Issue
Post by: lino124 on April 27, 2012, 01:52:29 AM
Hello everyone,

We using this printer as a network printer, installed on W2k and shared on the network, all client PC are using OS XPSP3. The problem we are facing is the following:
Whenever a user prints for instance a document of 2 pages and on the number of copies e he puts 2 so that the printer can then print 2 pages of each page, totally 4 pages, instead the printer takes out 8 pages, and if on the number of pages its 4 it will print 16 pages instead of 8. I find this so strange, tried some troubleshooting, like defaulting the printer to manufacture settings, changing some settings on the printers software to no avail.

Please help.  :-[

First of all, are you sure you have the correct driver for each of the computers?
