Mac OS X 10.5 Printer Drop-down sheet problem. Copies set to 0 by default?

Whenever I go to print something (from any app), the drop-down print sheet always has "Copies" set to "0" instead of "1".

How did this happen and how can I set the default Copies back to 1 like it should be?

Unibody MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz, Mac OS X (10.5.7), 2GB RAM, 200GB factory-installed hard drive

Hello mj:

That is a new one one me (no help to you).

Try uninstalling the printer and then adding it back.

Hi there,

I would be inclined to try a Reset printing system.

How to Reset the Printing System

1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac

This will remove your printer queues but not your printers drivers. So you will need to add your printer queues again.
