just recently I am unable to print 2 sided. The Duplex printing box under printer options is checked, but when I try to print a document using Excel or Word on my MacBook Pro, I am not given the option to print 2 sided. The only way I can print 2 sided if I select the document as a PDF and print through the Mac Preview features.
It seems that once I upgraded to macOS Sierra ver 10.12.4, is when I could no long print 2 sided.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
Please follow the steps below in order to automatically print two-sided print jobs:
From the file used to print click the File menu and select Print.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Press on Show Details to show any available print option.
In the expanded Print window you will find next to Copies the checkbox for Two-Sided. Check the box.
NOTE: If the checkbox does not appear within the specific application print dialog, skip this step.
To select the binding type click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
Set the Two-Sided option as Long-Edge binding (Portrait), or Short-Edge binding (landscape).
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset... Any used preset will remain default till another preset will be used.
