Title: QImage sending double print jobs
Post by: monty on April 27, 2019, 01:50:20 AM
Recently I've noticed that every print job has been sent twice - luckily I usually only load one sheet at a time.
It's rather strange because QImage only seems to submit the job once (it only shows the progress monitor and plays the sound clip once) but after the first job prints - sometimes several minutes later - the printer will wake up again and the print queue will list a new print job from QImage.
Has anyone had this happen to them before?

Monty,
Never heard of that before, but, Some things to check.
There is a check box in the driver (Not knowing your printer model, I checked Canons and Epsons) for more copies.
See that is set to 1.

Once Qimage has sent the data to the driver, it has finished. You can  close Qimage even though the print hasn't printed.
The Spooler in Windows takes over.

I have emailed you a little Utility file. It is very small and it cleans out the spooler.
You must right click it, and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Run this after the first print finishes.
