Printer ALWAYS PRINTS double sided -even when not selected

[yvettei]

Even when I request single sided printing the printer prints EVERYTHING double sided. This does not work for me. 

How can i fix this.  I have checked all the settings: 

OnPrinter

On web browser via IP address settings. 

I do not know where else to check, how do i fix this. Its time consuming to print to PDF then print 1 page at a time because I need single sided page printing not double all the time. I also haveanother pc with Windows 10 and same thing happens 

any suggestions please help..

I understand that some printer drivers:

• Include the requisite 'set duplex' control sequence in the generated print job when the user selects duplex for a print;
• Do not include the requisite 'set simplex' control sequence in the generated print job when the user selects simplex for a print;
• Hence the 'simplex' jobs do not override the printer's own default simplex or duplex setting; if this default is set to duplex, the job will print on both sides.

What you should be able to do is change the printer's default from duplex to simplex.

Easiest way to do this will probably be via the Embedded Web Server interface: on the System tab, select the Paper Setup page, and change the Duplex setting from On to Off.

Having said all that, I note that you state that "... have checked all the settings: ... OnPrinter ... On web browser via IP address settings ...".

So have you set Duplex to Off on the printer?

If so, then something else is causing the issue; we'd perhaps need to 'capture' ('print to file') a sample print job to find out what 'instructions' it contains (or does not contain).
