@Jetham, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

I understand you would like to disable the duplex printing option on your Mac computer. Try the steps below-

 

  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.

  3. Uncheck the option and then try printing.

When you set up a duplex printing job, the settings might carry over to the next print job. Additionally, some HP printers come with duplex printing set as the default. To change back to one-sided printing, turn off the duplex setting in the Print window.

To preserve duplex or one-sided settings for future print jobs, complete the print job with the desired settings, click the Presets menu, select Save Current Settings as Preset, and then give the preset a name such as One-Sided Documents.

If you still have issues, let me know the application you are trying to print from and I shall provide you with the specific steps to disable the duplex printing.

 

Keep me posted.
