Hi @Bodiddle ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand you are trying to turn off duplex (double-sided) printing on your HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw Printer, follow these steps based on your operating system:

 

For Windows:

Access Printer Settings:

  • Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog, type control, and hit Enter.
  • Go to Devices and Printers or Printers & Scanners.
  • Right-click your HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw printer and select Printer Preferences or Printing Preferences.

Disable Duplex Printing:

  • Look for a tab like Finishing, Features, or Layout.
  • Find the option for Print on Both Sides or Duplex Printing and uncheck or disable it.

Apply the Changes:

  • Click OK or Apply to save your changes.

 

For macOS:

Access Printer Settings:

  • Open a document and go to File > Print.
  • Select your HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw printer from the dropdown menu.

Disable Duplex Printing:

  • In the print settings window, look for a dropdown menu labeled Layout or Two-Sided.
  • Set Two-Sided to Off or select None.

Save as Default (Optional):

  • After changing the settings, you can save them as default for this printer by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset.

 

Printer Control Panel:

If duplex printing was enabled via the printer's control panel:

  1. Access the Settings menu on the printer's touchscreen or control panel.
  2. Navigate to Printing Preferences or Duplex Settings.
  3. Disable the duplex option and save your settings.
