Hi @DrEdward,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To change the default printing settings on your HP Smart Tank 6001 All-In-One printer from 2-page printing to 1-page printing on your Mac, you typically need to adjust the print settings through the macOS system preferences. Here’s how you can do it.

Open System Preferences: Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen and select "System Preferences" from the dropdown menu.

Access Printers & Scanners: In the System Preferences window, locate and click on "Printers & Scanners" (or "Print & Fax" depending on your macOS version).

Select Your Printer: In the printers list on the left-hand side, select your HP Smart Tank 6001 printer.

Open Printer Preferences: Click on the "Options & Supplies" or "Open Print Queue..." button. This will open a new window with additional options for your printer.

Change Default Settings:

• Look for a button or tab labeled "Printer Features" or "Driver" depending on your printer's driver version.
• Find the option for "Pages per Sheet" or "Layout" settings.
• Adjust the setting from "2 Pages per Sheet" to "1 Page per Sheet".

Save Settings: Once you’ve changed the setting to 1 page per sheet, look for a "Save" or "Apply" button to apply this as the new default setting for your printer.

Test Print: Close the preferences window and print a test page to ensure the settings have been applied correctly.

These steps should help you set the default printing option to 1 page per sheet on your Mac for the HP Smart Tank 6001 printer. If you encounter any specific options or variations in the printer settings, adjust accordingly based on the options available in your macOS version and printer driver.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
