How do I turn off Double Sided printing on my Officejet Pro 8600 on my Mac?

[1Victoria]

I have tried to follow other instruction I could find but there is not option I can find to either reset my printer or to turn off double sided printing either in systems preferences or in the application.  I've deleted and reinstalled the printer with no fix.

I believe we can disable two sided printing from the print dialogue windows. Let's try these steps:

1.) Open the document you want to print, click File, click Print, and then click Show Details, if necessary.

2.) Look for a Two-Sided option in the print dialog and then Un-check the Two Sided box.

3.) Click Layout in the unnamed print options menu at the center of the dialog. Click Two-Sided and select Off.

4.) Click Print.

Once the print job is complete, these settings will be set as default for future print jobs until you select a new preset or change settings.

You can also save your settings for future print jobs, click the Presets menu, and then select Save Current Settings as Preset.

Let me know how it goes!

I get these kinds of options in Word, but I am tryong to print a PowerPoint presentation and there is no such option.

I just brought up a PPT 365 document and I have all the same options as in Word. Perhaps Editing is turned off?

Would you be able to post a screenshot of the print dialogue window.

Thanks! Two sided printing should be under the Layout menu. Click the unnamed print options menu and select Layout, then click Two-Sided and select Off.
