Hi @socratesagain,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

I understand that you are having issues with the print settings.

To change your HP OfficeJet Pro 8028e from double-sided (duplex) printing to single-sided printing, you can adjust the print settings either on your computer or directly from the printer’s control panel. Here’s how you can do it:

On Your Computer (Windows):

Open the Print Dialog:

• When you are ready to print, go to File > Print or press Ctrl + P in the application you’re using.

Select the Printer:

• Ensure that your HP OfficeJet Pro 8028e is selected as the printer.

Access Printer Properties:

• Click on Printer Properties, Preferences, or More settings (the wording may vary depending on the application).

Change the Duplex Setting:

• Look for the option labeled Two-Sided, Duplex, or something similar.
• Set it to Off, None, or One-Sided Printing.

Confirm and Print:

• Click OK to save your changes and then proceed to print your document.

On Your Computer (macOS):

Open the Print Dialog:

• When you’re ready to print, go to File > Print or press Command + P.

Select the Printer:

• Make sure your HP OfficeJet Pro 8028e is selected.

Access Print Settings:

• In the print dialog, expand the Copies & Pages or Layout section if necessary.

Turn Off Duplex Printing:

• Look for the Two-Sided checkbox and uncheck it.

Confirm and Print:

• Click Print to print your document single-sided.

Directly on the Printer (if available):

Go to Printer Settings:

• On your printer’s touchscreen, navigate to the Settings or Setup menu.

Locate the Duplex Printing Option:

• Look for a Print Settings or Print Options section.
• Find the option related to duplex printing and turn it off.

Save Settings:

• Save the changes and try printing a document to see if it’s now printing single-sided.

Note: If you often need to switch between single-sided and double-sided printing, you can create a custom print profile in the printer settings for quick access to your preferred options.

This should ensure that your documents print on one side only.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance
