Duplicate copies printing from Kyocera Mita Network printer

I'm trying to print to a Kyocera Mita FS-9500DN printer across a network. I successfully installed the drivers and was able to connect to it.

The good news is that it prints. The bad news is that it prints THREE copies of everything sent to it. If I specify two copies, it will only print two. But I can't specify only one, and it won't print one by default.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

MacBook (black), Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Several months ago there was some Xerox users with a similar problem. However, regardless of the number of copies they entered, they always got multiples. I cannot remember if it was resolved.

Anyway, this sounds like a driver issue. You could test this theory by opening the Terminal application and submitting a text file via lp. For example, create a simple text file using TextEdit. Then save it with a filename of test in your documents folder. Then open Terminal (located in Applications > Utilities). Change the directory to your Documents folder (cd Documents). Then type lp test (or test.rtf if it was saved with the extension) and press the Enter key. If the Mita is the default printer the machine should start up and you should only get one copy. If this does happen, then you know it's a driver issue so you can contact your Mita support and see if they have a fix.
