When printing from Office 2000 it always prints 2 copies unless you tell it one. I deleted the Normal.DOT and it did not fix the problem. The Printer default is one. I reinstalled the printer drives and still the same problem. If you tell the printer 1 copy it works fine.

Make sure you have not continued to the sencong page. You can verify by scrolling dowm from page one and if it passes to page two, than it is going to print even though the page is blank. You need to go to the first page and go to the last sentence and at the end, press delete to delete all the lines underneath it. That should take care of the second page.

Double click on you printer icon. click printer and select properties, look around till you find "copies" and make sure it says 1.

Does the "2" actually appear in the "number of copies" box in the printer dialog box when you go to print? If you open your normal.dot, does the printer dialog box default to 2 copies? You might try changing it there, if it does. This is the onlything I can think of. . .Hope it helps!

It keeps defaulting to 2 copies even after you change it. I deleted the Normal.dot to reset the setting and no good.

Right click on printer icon; "properties"; "page layout" or "paper" and check the default "Number of Copies" it is probably set to 2. If so, any program you try to print from will display "2" in the number of copies dialog box.
