Turn off default two-sided printing HP OFFICEJET pro 8710

[RoryW]

I've read everything I can find on this site about turning off the two-sided printing in the default settings. Is there REALLY NO option for this? This has NEVER been a problem with any of your printers before. Are you truly saying my options are:

1. Unclick the TWO-SIDED option every time you print. And hope you don't forget and mess up 20 pages of paper.

2. Set your own printing preset and go FIND it and CLICK IT EVERY TIME you print. And hope you don't forget and mess up 20 pages of paper.

I've always used the option to return to default after each print job because some print jobs are special. HOWEVER, default is set to TWO-SIDED printing so that is what I get. My family has waisted so much paper because you have made us accustomed to default printing is ONE-SIDED. What is going on?
