From the printer driver, right click and select printing properties and then preferences, select finishing tab. and ensure the Duplex/Two Sided printing option is unchecked.

Hi,
Go to your printer icon. Click on printing preferences. Click on finishing tab and make sure:
 
1. To print on both sides (manually) =  checked. You may get a pop up with each print job after you do this, so beware
 
2. NOT to print on both sides (manually) = unchecked.
 
Also, make sure when you are printing a document that your set your printing preferences appropriately by clicking on printing properites (from the application you are printing from) and then making sure the print on both sides is unclicked or says no
