Devices and Printers Control Panel

[john9210]

Windows 10 64 bit. My printer is the HP LaserJetPro 401 dne, although I don’t think my question depends on a particular printer. I don’t understand what I’m seeing in the Devices and Printers control panel. When I open the panel and right click on the printer icon, all the options (See what’s printing; set as default printer; printing preferences; printing properties; delete print queue) display two printer icons: Printer 1 and Printer 1 (Copy 1) and Copy 1 is the default although I'm not sure why.Why are there two? How can I delete one of them?

Right click "Copy One" and select remove.
You installed your printer twice.

Should have also said right click Printer 1 and select "Make Default"
Hope this helps.

This is an install error twice overlapping. All you have to do to remove an installation is that everything is fine.
