Hi @ZZZZZ1
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Try these steps to disable duplex or 2-sided printing -
1) In the search box, type and open "Printer & Scanners".
2) Select your printer from the list and then click on "Manage".
3) Click on "Printing Preferences".
4) Select "No" from the drop-down list for print on both sides located either in "Layout" or "Printing Shortcut tab".
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
