Hi @framack,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I understand your HP 6130e printer is defaulting to double-sided (duplex) printing for all programs, and you want to change it. Let’s go through a few steps to set single-sided printing as the default.

a. Change Printer Defaults via Windows Settings

Press Windows + R, type control printers, and press Enter.

Right-click your HP 6130e printer and select Printing preferences.

Look for Two-Sided Printing / Duplex Printing under Layout or Finishing.

Uncheck the option for double-sided printing.

Click Apply → OK.

b. Check Application-Specific Settings

Some programs (Word, Adobe, etc.) may override printer defaults.

When printing, check the Print dialog box → Properties or Preferences.

Make sure Print on Both Sides is unchecked, and click Set as default if the option is available.

c. Using HP Smart App

Open HP Smart on your computer.

Go to Printer Settings → Print Preferences.

Disable Double-sided / Duplex printing and save the changes.

I hope this helps.
