I understand you want to disable two-sided printing on your HP Envy 7640 printer. Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,
Let’s try to reset your printing systems first. Try the steps below:
- Click the Apple menu icon, and then click “System Preferences”.
- Click “Printers and Scanner” / “Print and Scan” or “Print and Fax”.
- Right-click the blank space in the Printers list, and then click “Reset printing system”.
- Click “Reset” in the confirmation window.
- Enter an administrator username and password, and then click “OK”.
- Wait until the printing system is reset and no devices show in the Printers list
- Click the “Add button” (+).
- Find, and then select the name of your printer from the printer list, and then click “Add” to add your printer.
- Click “Print Using...”, and then select the name of your printer (By default “Airprint” would be selected)
For more details, please follow the steps suggested in the support document for - HP Printers - Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Mac) (Duplexing)
