I have a 2-page document that I printed once front and back. Now I cannot get it to print on two pages. What am I doing wrong?

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.

Thank you very much. That seemed to help, although the two-sided printing was off when I opened that window. Go figure. Also, I had to name a new default. How do I delete the default so I can set and rename the default1 as just default. I don't want two defaults.
