Thanks for reaching out and for supporting BCH Technologies! If your HP Officejet Pro 8620 keeps reprinting the same page, the problem usually comes from the print queue or a communication error between your computer and the printer. Try these steps:
Clear the print queue on your computer instead of only pressing the cancel button on the printer. Sometimes the job stays stuck in memory and keeps resending.
Restart both the printer and your computer to reset the connection.
Reinstall or update the printer driver to make sure it isn’t a driver glitch.
If the problem continues, run a diagnostic tool or remove the printer from your system and add it back fresh.
