Are you giving the command to your Dell printer to print
multiple copies but it is only printing a single page. It can be an issue
related to the printer software or some hardware problems with the computing
device. You must have also noticed that uninstalling the printer and then
installing it back again would have also not corrected the error, and sometimes

to tackle the issue of Dell printer printing a single page. For that, you
need to first look at what possible mistakes you might be making that can lead

must have observed that as soon as you give a print command, the printer will
print one page and then will just stop printing. But the task window will show
that the printing is complete, and you can see no particular errors.
There can be some particular reasons behind the issue:

printer spooler program is not working properly. It is a program which
acts as a manager to the printer and gives the command to the printer via
the network to commemorate print jobs.
- The
printer driver software might have become outdated or was not successfully
installed in the computer
- Maybe
installing Windows Update is causing this problem. The Microsoft must have
updated the Internet Explorer to version 11. The version IE11 is causing
this problem.
