I want to print on one side only as the default setting.
The present default provides for two sided printing.
How do I change the default permanently to one sided printing?
I don't want to change the setting each I print.
Or how can I select "everyday printing" as the permanent choice, unless I change it myself?
Thanks

In Windows 8 I would click on the Windows icon on the bottom left of the screen and then start typing devices and printers.
Citizen printers appeared in the search list I would click on it to open the devices and printers dialog box.
Then I would right click on the printer and about half way down the list that appeared I would select printer properties, there's another similar entry at the bottom of the list but you want the one halfway down with the word printer in it.
Once you open that dialog box you can click on the tabs and change settings and then apply them and those will become the default settings for all the other applications.
