Somehow I changed the default number of copies to print in Word. It's now set to 13, which is like some kind of booby trap for my household. I can change it ever time I print, but every now and then I forget to, and I get 13 copies of a Joel on Software article for reading on the train.

How do I set the default number of copies?

  • Which version of Word is this?

  • What if you print a page from Notepad? Or what if you use another printer (like a PDF printer)? (Just guessing it's not a default in Word, but a default in your system wide printer preferences. One is administered from Word, the other from Control Panel.)

Reset to default

Go to "Devices and Printers" either from Control Panel or searching in "Windows 7 Start Menu", and right click on your printer and select "Printing Preferences". In the "Advanced" tab, set the default "number of copies" to 1.

  • I'm on Windows 7, and I don't see an option for the default number of copies there.

  • I have a "Printing Defaults" button on the Advanced tab (on Vista). The number of copies option is in there. Does 7 have this button?
