MX920 prints multiple copies

[deec223]

MX920 prints multiple copies even though print menu is set to 1 copy.  How do I troubleshoot this?

Hi deec223,

We can assist you with this issue, but first, we would need a little more information:

What version of Windows are you using, Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8?  If you are using a Mac, which version of OSX is installed?

Are you using the printer wirelessly or with a USB cable?

I find the Canon MX922 worse than useless in that it says printer not responding everytime I click, then takes a good 10 minutes to start to print a page.  It also prints many, many multiples of a page even when I ask for one copy.  It was a gift or it would have gone back to the store the first week.  Soon to go into e-waste with posts on facebook to totally avoid Canon printers, unless I can get some help.

As per my first reply, I have a Windows 7 computer and am connected wirelessly.

Hi tbpuppets,

Uninstalling the network port and printer driver and reinstalling them will resolve this issue.  To do this, please follow these steps:

     2-6.  Click OK in the Properties window.

 3.  Click Browse. In the Browse window, click on "Computer".

 4.  Double click the CANON_IJ CDROM.  

 5.  Double click the folder named WIN.

 6.  Double click the folder named Driver.

Once complete, restart the computer.

To install the unit for use over your network wirelessly, please follow these steps when the computer restarts:

I have started having this issue using Windows 10 oner a wireless network.

Hi rehmih,

Please make sure that there is a strong signal between your PIXMA MX922 and the wireless access point.  To do this, please follow these steps:

 1.  Turn your PIXMA MX922 on.

 2.  Press the MENU button on your PIXMA MX922.

 3.  Select Setup and press OK.

 4.  Select Device Settings and press OK.

 5.  Use the up or down arrows to select LAN settings and press OK.

 6.  Use the up or down arrows to select Confirm LAN settings and press OK.

 7.  Use the up or down arrows to select Print LAN details and press OK.

 8.  Use the up or down arrows to select Yes and press OK.

On the page that prints, the Signal Strength will be listed.  That number should be as close to 100% as possible.

Ok - I have the MX920 with Windows 8, and my printer is also spitting out three copies each time (despite being set at 1). I followed these instructions and my signal strength is 96%. Pretty close to 100%. Now what?
