    Go to Settings-> Devices-> Printers and remove the ones you don't want.

    If the "COPY 1" is the one that works the best - remove the others.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Once you have removed the non-working printer driver instance(s), you can rename the working one to remove the (Copy 1) and also right-click to set it as the default.
