It sounds as though you may be asking Excel to collate the pages. This
doesn't help much if your output is a single page, but will result in the
page being composed multiple times. Try clearing that checkbox (just below
the # copies) in the print dialog.

I have a single sheet in excel and the printer pauses after each sheet is

If I want to print 20 copies of a sheet, the printer will pauses which takes
a long, long time. In the printer window, it will have 20 commands to print
1 page. This does not happen in word or any other program.
