DISABLE DUPLEXING/DOUBLE SIDED PRINTING AS DEFAULT ON LASER JET PRO M203dw

[JANNEMUMMERT]

Hello,

I use single sider printing about 90% of the time and cannot find where to get my LaserJet Pro M203dw to default to single sided printing. Iforget to uncheck in the print dialogue box and wind up prnting again. Where can I change the default for the printer itself?

Thanks.
