My M203dw will not keep Print on both sides set to "No"

[jfkirkpatrick]

The M203dw is connected to 2 HP Desktops and a Dell Laptop via Wi-Fi.  All computers are running Win 10.

Before we print we try to remember to set the Printer Properties to "Print on Both Sides" equal "No".  If we forget that the default appears to be "Yes, flip over".

How do we  set it to "No" and it stays there?

Thanks for the assistance.

Please try these steps

1. From the software program, select the Print option.

2. Select the printer from the list of printers, and then click the Properties or Preferences button to open the print driver.

Note: The name of the button varies for different software programs. In Windows 10: Select Print, and then select the printer.

3. Click the Finishing tab.

4. Select Print Single Side. Click OK to close the Document Properties dialog.

5. Try printing and let me know how it goes

KrazyToad,

I had already been following your suggestion and it seems to work for my HP Desktop but does not stay a permanent fix for Mary HP Desktop..

We will just have to make sure we look at the setting before we print. 

I was hoping for a more permanent fix to the printer software.

I am going to set this post to complete and Thank you for your response.

Sorry it took me so long to answer, I got side tracked!!

Your solution works until the printer is closed.

Even tho the printer properties are saved when the printer is brought up in the morning the property is overridden by a software default for Print on both sides goes to "Yes, flip over" from my setting of "No".

It's rally not a big issue, we just have to remember to set it to "No" and if we don't we fix it and print again!!

Thanks for you assistance and have a Great Labor Day.
