single sided printing on Mac with adobe acrobat

[bobfharris]

Printing with Adobe acrobat forces printing on both sides of the paper even if I have the printing preset to single page. How can I overide the adobe acrobat from doing this?

@bobfharris, Welcome to HP Support Community!

When you set up a duplex printing job, the settings might carry over to the next print job. Additionally, some HP printers come with duplex printing set as the default. To change back to one-sided printing, turn off the duplex setting in the print window.

The image is in reference to the print dialog box that opens up when you try to print from Adobe Acrobat.

To change the settings, click on the Printer tab at the bottom of the window.

Change the settings as shown in the image above and try printing.

To preserve duplex or one-sided settings for future print jobs, complete the print job with the desired settings, click the Presets menu, select Save Current Settings as Preset, and then give the preset a name such as One-Sided Documents.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers 🙂

I've done this. There is a tax form we use in Hawaii that bypasses the normal printer setting and goes directly to print from a button. You cannot access any printer settings. I was hoping there was a way to force it to one side only.

I've done the present default you suggested but to no avail

@bobfharris,

Since you're not getting the print dialog box option while printing the tax form, you can try saving the form as a PDF or a document and then try printing.

It is not a printer issue or a driver issue, it may be a limitation on the application that you're using.

Keep me posted.

Cheers 🙂
