    Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
    Type regedit and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the Printer Registry Entries:

    Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers.
    Identify and Delete Entries:

    Look for entries related to the Xprinter.
    Each printer installation might have its own subkey. Identify and delete the keys that correspond to the previous installations. Right-click and choose “Delete”.
    Restart Your Computer:

    After deleting the registry entries, restart your computer.
    Reinstall the Xprinter:

    Reinstall the Xprinter again, and it should ideally be recognized as the primary installation without the “copy 3” designation.
    This process should remove the residual entries from previous installations that might be causing the “copy 3” designation. However, ensure you’re deleting the correct entries related to the previous installations.
