My Printer Only Prints One Page at a Time [Expert Fix]

Depending on the print job, the printer can print multiple or single copies of the document. However, some users have reported that their printer prints only one copy despite the print job including multiple copies.

This is a common issue, and the users have explained the problem in various tech forums, including Microsoft Community Forums.

Every thing has been working smoothly but today I tried to print a multi-page document and the printer only prints the last page of the document. I’ve rebooted and turned off the printer and turned it back on but same result.
Thanks for anyone’s help

Follow the steps given in this article to fix printer printing one page at a time problem.

Why does my printer only print one copy?

1. Check Document Compatibility

1. If you are trying to print documents from the MS Word app, check the compatibility of the document.
2. If the document was saved in MS Word 2003 format and if you are trying to print it from the MS Word 2016 version, you may face the difficulty mentioned in this article.
3. To fix this, open the document in your current MS Word app and then save it using the current app.
4. Now try to print the same document and check if the printer accepts and prints multiple copies.

2. Print as PDF File

1. One workaround that seems to be working for all the affected users is printing the document after converting it to a PDF file.
2. You can easily save the picture or text document in PDF format from the paint or MS Word app.
