I used to have this issue happen to me after Win10 updates many years ago where the duplex option is suddenly change to print on both sides manually. That was resolved by making the setting in "Printer Properties", "Device Settings" , goto "Duplex Unit" and select "Installed" and hit "Apply" to save your latest settings. I do not have any issue since then.
And now, i facing the same issue again. on Windows 11 this time.
Why Microsoft breaks the duplex function of my printer again?
