Hi,

The setting of quick print is as same as print. So you should check the print settings.

Click File->Print, in Copies Textbox, enter the number of copies.

Hope that helps.

Major problem with WORD 2010.  In the real world we use Office to write letters and print them. Previously 99% of the time one would use the quick print button to (quickly) print one straight copy of the open document on the default printer.  If one wanted more than one copy, control P and the mejhu opens with the default option being the number of copies. So press 3 and enter and 3 copies print.

NOW in WORD2010 which does have many clever intuitive improvements over earlier versions the print opttion has been messed around with to such an extent that if there is no update I am reverting to WORD 2007.

All those clever programmers at Microsoft are out of touch with the real world.   

Hi Jennifer,

I have the same problem and have already done that several times. It does not change the number of copies on quick print. I will reboot my machine and see if that resets everything. I have already closed Word and reopened it, to no avail.

This seems to be a bug somewhere under the hood. I know the File/Print command is supposed to be the same, but it is not.

Jennifer:

I have same problem, except that I am getting 2 copies automatically. It happens regardless of what printer I use. This only happens in Quick Print, not the regular print function on the pull down menu.

Help!

I use Excel 2010 more than Word, but have the same problem. In Excel, Quick Print prints using the same printer and count as my last job. Because I switch between a black and white laser printer near my desk and a color printer down the hall, it's extremely annoying.  Quick Print should print one copy to the default printer ONLY.  If I go to Print (instead of Quick Print) and reset the printer and the number of copies, I can get what I want, but then, why have Quick Print?  It's a real disaster, as are many other "improvements" in Office 2010.  If I could go back, I would, but I'm in a corporate environment, so I'm stuc

Jennifer, This does not fix this problem, therefore it is not a solution. I have the same issue, and  your solution does not change the number of copies that prints from quick print.  When going to File/Print the number of copies is 1.  However, on our computer quick print continues to print multiple copies, even though the number 1 is in the number of copies box under File/Print.  Please advise of an alternate

Come on Microsoft - this is just crap design. If you print three copies with the file/print/print button then the quick print button will then also print three copies from then on. This I can take, but if you then go into file/print again, change the number of copies to one, but don't actually press the print button, the number of copies to be printed shows as one, but the quick print button will still keep printing three. You can only commit the change by pressing the print button.

So, the quick print button will ALWAYS print the same number of copies as you LAST PRINTED - NOT what the number of copies TO BE PRINTED says.

Just RUBBISH DESIGN.

Please fix this guys.
