Stop 2 sided printing on my MF4880dw

How do I stop or change the setting on my printer so that it does NOT print double sided?
I have the 2 sided set to OFF and I see no wherreelse to change that setting.

Hi rwallaceking!
I know this issue is frustrating and I'm glad to assist you. To turn off two-sided printing on the Mac OS X operating system, please follow the steps below:
Click [File], and then [Print] in the application you would like to print from.
Click the drop-down arrow next to [Copies & Pages] or [Safari]. This depends on the program that you are printing from.
Select [Layout].
Set the 2-sided option as [OFF].
Before you print the document, we recommend saving this option as a "Preset", so that you don't have to make these changes in every application that you print from. To save this setting as a preset, follow the steps below:
Click the "Presets" drop-down arrow and click "Save current setting as preset."
Name it "1-sided" or "Single-Sided" and verify that the imageCLASS MF4570dn is the only printer selected.
Click "OK".
Print the document.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). Have a nice day.

6700 Officejet Printer - cannot cancel and cannot stop 2-sided printing!!!!!!!!!!

Officejet 6700 - In Word cannot find way to stop it from 2-sided printing! Nor can I "cancel" a printing process. Going into the "Printer" does not give me the normal options to check what is in que or to cancel. In Outlook can cancel 2-sided, but is still coming up each time. Did not do any of this until past week.

Hello LH16.
I understand you are unable to remove duplex printing from Microsoft Word. First, I need to find out what version you have? Please indicate what year it is.
In the meantime you could reference this document on Disabling Duplex Printing in Microsoft Word. This document is referring to version 2007, but this could help resolve your issue.
If you are unable to cancel a "print process", then try this:
On your printer you can press the Red X. If this doesn't work, then unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. Plug the power cord back into the printer. You can also cancel the document from the Print Queue on your computer. Just go into the print command (which is your Print Queue) You should see a document, right click on your mouse and click delete.
Once I know your exact version of Microsoft Word I can assist you further.

Stop two sided printing

When I print in word for mac, my HP Envy 4502 automatically prints multiple page documents as two-sided. I do not want this. How do it stop this from happening? There is no option to uncheck two-sided in word for mac like there is in other programs.

How to STOP default two sided printing

I have a macbook air (2013) and a Canon 8350 all in one laser printer...it ALWAYS defaults to two sided printing and I NEVER want to print two sided as I print for business and have no use for it...I often forget to uncheck it and thus end up wasting paper and ink.
I have looked through all the settings and cannot figure out how to get it to NOT default to two sided printing. I know I can save the settings, however it doesn't default to that new profile, so I would have to select the profile every time to change it, which makes no sense as a solution (I still have to remember to do it EVERY TIME).
Anyone know of a way to stop this behavior?

You can change the default via CUPS, which is the core printing system of OS X.
Open Safari and enter the following URL
http://localhost:631
By default on 10.8, access to the CUPS page is blocked. To enable it, open Terminal and type "sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes" (without the quotation marks). Enter the admin password when prompted and then refresh the Safari view.
With the CUPS web page open, select the Printers tab and then select the printer you want to modify. Then from the Administration drop menu, change to "Set Default Options".
This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General.
Scroll down the list until you see the Print Style menu. Change it from 2 Sided to 1 Sided and then scroll down the page until you see the Set Default Options button.
Click on this button to save the change. You will then be prompted to authenitcate to CUPS.
Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed.
You can now check that the change has been successful by selecting to print this page from Safari. With the correct printer selected, change to the relevant menu to ensure your modification has worked.

Adobe reader XI: doule sided print problem with network printer (windows 8 pro)

Hi, I'm facing a problem with my old printer, the xerox phaser 3160n. It was connected to my notebook through network connection, and everything works well with Adobe X /Win 7 OS (including the double side print, of course) last month, I have upgraded my NB to windows 8 with clean install
clean install my printer driver for windows 8 too, and Adobe reader XI was also downloaded through official website.
However, since I was about to use double sided print in Adobe reader XI (11.00.02) it couldn't obey the order, but just print one side as usual
I have checked the "option" of my printer, and it was correctly set to "double-sided print". I have tried word 2013 to open the same pdf, and choose the same "double-sided print" and it works perfectly.
Is this problem a bug? and would it be corrected in the next update version??
(I remeber I've saw a similar issue too, with network printer, but I couldn't find it)
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Meanwhile, after insatlling the latest driver for printer from the manufacture website, restart the spooler service as a test.
Start > Run > cmd and type "net stop spooler" after that "net start spooler" or start > run > service.msc and restart it over the GUI.
Run Printer Troubleshootor under Action Center\Troubleshooting\Programs\Printer, and check if it helps.
And yes, the manufacture should have more sence about the printer, it's recommended to contact them.

Double sided printing, back page is inverted

I am trying to print a PDF document on Adobe Reader 9 using my printer which defaults to 2-sided printing. Using landscape mode I cannot find any way of stopping the second page from being "upside-down". It is as if it expected me to flip the pages about the top of the page rather than the side. Printing a Word document using exactly the same settings for the printer results in pages printed "normally." Because I am using the same settings for my printer, this must be an Acrobat problem. Suggestions?

Found the work around myself. There is a switch in my printer setup for "flip vertical," which, when activated, shows the binding along the top of a landscape page. However, when activated it stopped the "upside down" feature and it now prints so that it reads normally with the binding on the left. Weird. Why different for Word and Acrobat?

Deskjet 930c does not do double sided printing with windows 7

We have just obtained a new machine with Windows 7 and connected the existing Deskjet 930c via a usb cable.
Under windows XP it was possible to select double sided printing and a prompt was displayed on the screen to turn the paper round.
This is not happening under windows 7. Is there something we have not done? Or is it not possible any more.
It does go through the motion of double sided printing but does not stop to change the paper.
Any ideas anyone - we do a lot of double sided printing and we hav spent hours trying to sort this out.

Please look at the HP Support page,
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00098827&lc=ja&dlc=ja&cc=jp
Unfortunately, I could not find an equivalent page in English. This is for Win XP and Vista, but I checked
that a similar logic can be applied to Windows 7, too.
step 1 to 3 is to show property of the printer Deskjet9xxC.
step 4 is to select device setting tab
step 5: change "installable option" from "uninstalled" to "already installed"
step 6: OK
step 7: select print setting
step 8: select layout tab, and choose either long edge or short edge
that is all.
In my Japanese Windows 7 environment, when I double-click the "HP DeskJet 930C/932C/935C" icon, there are three sub items appeared. Two out of these three were used in the above steps.
Please try.

How to do two sided printing automatically with HP 7520 printer

All that I am trying to do is to make my printer do two sided or double sided printing. No matter what I check IT DOES NOT WORK. I checked "2-sided, 1 to 2, NOTHING. What amazes me is that this worked until recently and now it just will not do double sided printing. I am probably doing something wrong, but WHAT?
This question was solved.

Generally speaking, duplex printing is accessed / adjusted from Printing Preferences.
If you are printing from within an application, for example, within Word or within your Browser, you might reach Printing Preferences from Print Preview.
Reference:
Manage Print Output with Print Preview
Excerpted:
Print Preview – Accessing the Printing Preferences
Browser Page > File > Print Preview > Properties
Properties Accesses Printing Preferences:
Paper Source (Tray Selection), Paper Size, Media, Orientation, Print on Both Sides, Page Order
Reference: Printing Preferences

How do I enable double sided printing on my iPad through the HP ePrint app?

HP Laser jet 1102w
I have Windows 7 64 bit and a original iPad.
I would like to save paper when I am printing from my iPad. Is there a setting to enable double-sided printing when printing from an iPad using the HP ePrint app?

Hi,
Printing a manual duplex printing is not supported by the HP ePrint app or AirPrint as well, it can only be done with printers who provide automatic two-sided printing.

How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

Click on the Show Details button just above:
You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.

The print menu on my MacBook Air won't allow me to select two sided printing, how do I do this?

Hi Community,
I recently purchased a MacBook Air (my very first Mac) and I cannot access all of the printing options when I print. I am able to print and the printer driver was downloaded, but my options are limited. I cannot enable two sided printing, which is something I was able to do with my current printer via my old laptop. I am in grad school and have a lot of journal articles to print and read that are 60-70 pages each. I'd much rather print these two sided to save paper. I have the latest version of OS X (version 10.8.5) and my printer is an HP Laser Jet P2035n.
Can anyone help me fix this issue so I don't have to use my old laptop to print?
Thanks,
Melissa

How do I create a custom preset in my print window? I want to permanently turn off 2-sided printing under the Fiery Features?

At my office I work on a mac, I print to a Canon C5240, my print dirver is current (Canon iR-ADV C5200s-B2 psv1.ous). We just got this new computer at our office and it defaults to 2-sided printing.
The cannon people said we need change our printer setting on our sever to single sided printing, our IT guy says we have. However, we still continue to get all prints 2-sided.
The only way we've been able to get around this is when we are in the print dialog: manually changing the page setting > Fiery Features > and turning off 2-sided printing-- every time. It's so frustrating.
Is there a way to save this preset rather then have it always revert back to the default print settings?
PLEASE HELP!

Hello,
Click on the Presets dropdown item, choose save as Default, Save As, or Maybe just Save depending on OS version.
