Tried but no progress. Deleted the printer and re installed it.
The printer does have an option to select the number of copies, and that is set to 1.
No other program prints 2 copies, no other report in this app prints 2 copies, so I am inclined to blame the report. It is fairly complex page, so I am reluctant to delete it and start again. But that may be the only option.
Thanks for your input.
regards.
