Printer is Only Printing on Both Sides

Issue/Question

I have set the printer to print on one side but it will print on both sides of the page

Prints double sided even when you specify single

Environment

  • Microsoft Windows
  • HP ColorLaserJet ProM452
  • Various Printer Models

Cause

Incorrect drivers are installed

Printer properties are set to print on both sides

Resolution

  1. Install correct drivers for that printer
  2. Change Printer Properties Settings
    1. Click the Windows Start Button
    2. Type printers
    3. Select Printers & Scanners
    4. Select the printer
    5. Click Printing preferences
    6. Select No under Print on both sides:
    7. Click Apply
    8. Click OK
  3. Try printing again
    Note: You will need to change it to print on one side one last time from the print preview window before it will remain on that setting
