Hi H00dat!

 

So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know the computer operating system you're using (Windows XP/Vista/7/8 or Mac 10.x). Any other error messages or details you'd like to give will also help the Community better understand your issue.

 

Thanks and have a great day!

I use the printer on two different laptops win ultimate 7 and windows 8.1

 2.  Click on Search.

 3.  Type CONTROL PANEL.

 4.  In the Search Results, click on Control Panel.

 5.  Click on Hardware and Sound.

 6.  Click Printers.

 7.  Right-click the PIXMA MX432, and then left-click Printing Preferences.

I also have this issue but it is under the booklet setting. I need to uncheck collate but it doesn't allow me to no matter how many copies I do.
