Are your duplicate items fully scanned or coming in as unknowns?
not fully scanned, but I know what they are according to the IP. these devices are printers with static ip’s

Hey Jevita,
I posted on one of your other topics regarding this issue a bit earlier. Here’s the topic:
I have workstations and laptops that are on DHCP. When Spiceworks
scans my network these devices are duplicated, some are fully scanned and the
duplicate is not. For example, if I searched for a device by name “PC001” I
will get results that have the IP and workstations name, and the other will
have just the IP. Is there a way to
prevent this from happening? This also happens with my devices that are static
IP like my printers
Give those steps a shot and let us know if that helped out (on that post)!
