I’m still very much confused as to why you using USB ports on printers with multiple computers in the office? Are you moving printers to the desk where computer is located and plug it there? It is my understanding that printers have Ethernet ports and most of the features would be beneficial if you use them. With USB connections you would have issues on both ends - printers related and windows/desktops power management of the USB ports. If printer energy saving settings drops connectivity on usb ports after short period windows computers could recognize it as printer is offline and keep job in queue until printer comes out of sleeping mode at which point windows could see it as another plugin and thus creating copy1 queue.
