In the print controls for the M454dw provided by driver version 19.2800 I cannot find a control to force simplex printing. The printer's specs call out "automatic" duplex, however I expected there would be a way to force simplex printing because that is often required for a print job. Is there a driver that will allow forcing simplex printing?

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
