Ever since getting new windows computers, my print settings repeatedly switch back to double sided. This happens almost every time I print something, and never once happened prior to getting new computers (also Microsoft). I've looked in settings in Word and Microsoft and have been unable to find anything. I work in a law office, so nothing can ever be double sided, and ends up wasting so much paper and ink when printed double sided. Please help!
Nevermind I figured it out for myself. If this happens to you: Windows Settings > Printers > Click on one your using > Printing Preferences > Finishing, then select the not double sided paper in double sided preferences.
Hi,
I'm glad your problem has been solved, if you encounter other problems about Office in the future, you can also post it to our forum, we are happy to help you.
Another thing you could do is reinstall the printer driver with a different name:
i.e. "HP Printer - Single-Sided" and "HP Printer - Double-sided."
Set the settings in each printer driver and pick the one you want when printing. This will work for all your applications, not just Word.
