HP ENVY 5660 e-All-in-One Printer series

I’ve got a new Mac Book Air, and most recent Word for Mac version.  Problem is, when I try to print a Word document it only prints in Duplex (two sided).  No way to de-select this on the print (command-P) page that pops up.

 

When I want to print a non-Word document, the print window gives the option of one or two sided.   I’ve been to Apple support and Microsoft support and they both blamed others.   HELP!

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
