Stop duplex printing

[BrianJoyce]

My deskjet 3630 has lately begun printing for both sides of paper, all even number pages, then all odd numbers.  How can I get it to revert to one side page printing as it was last week?

How to Print on Both Sides of the Paper (Windows) (Duplexing)

Reverse the settings, that is select a shortcut that does not use / set Duplex printing.

More information:

HP Printers - Print Driver Settings Guide (Windows)

If the printer supports the feature, you can create a Custom shortcut with the settings you like.  Leave that as your "preferred" shortcut.

General help to select / set Preferences

Set the Preferences - Windows

1. The following assumes the Full Feature Software has been installed.
2. Check / enable the printer as the “Default Printer”
3. Select and adjust settings in each category for the Media (kind of paper), source (tray), and paper size.

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click on your printer > Set as Default

Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Right-Click on your printer > Printing Preferences >

Tab Printing Shortcuts > Click / Highlight preferred shortcut > Click Apply > Click OK to exit

If the printer software supports the feature, change the settings as desired, then use “Save as” to create a Custom Shortcut.

OR

Windows key + S (search for) Printers and Scanners

Left-Click on (your) Printer > Manage >

Printing Preferences

Select a shortcut and / or set “preferred settings” for paper, source (tray), other settings

Optional (if / as supported on the printer): Save As > enter a name for your custom shortcut

Click OK to save the preferences
