How to disable duplex printing on MFP M281fdw (Mac)

It has a mind of its own.  All of a sudden it insists on printing both sides.

Hi,
Follow these steps to disable two sided printing:

Open the file you would like to print. From the File menu select Print. The Print window appears.

NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.

Click the settings drop down, it will usually appear as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

Select Layout from the drop-down menu.

Set the Two-Sided option as Off.

You may save the settings as a preset by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...

By doing so and completing the print job these settings will remain default till another preset will be used in the future.

Regards,
Shlomi

Thanks a lot for your advice! I ran into the same problem printing MS Office documents on MFP M281fdw using my Mac. The printer has always printed in duplex mode regardless of the settings I selected in its configuration site. Strange, isn't it?

The print dialog in the iwork applications (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) by the way shows a checkbox to enable or disable duplex printing mode at first sight.

I have iOS 10.14.6. I am trying to print a Word document and it doesn't have options described above. If I pull up a TextEdit document I do see the options, and 2 sided is turned off.

Is there a way to turn of duplex in Word?
