I have tried deleting and adding the printer again by "resesting" my printers and adding it again, both with AirPrint and the HP driver, with no success. The solutions I've seen so far required going to Printers & Scanners, clicking Printer Queue, and going to Printer Setup-but there is no longer a Printer Setup option from the Printer Queue, and I can't find Printer Setup anywhere. I'm a graduate student who needs to print up to 100 pages per week, so double-sided printing is seriously important for me. I always had to turn the paper over, which is fine, but now I don't even have that option.

I used to just download the correct driver for the computer and then it would show up when I added the printer and its IP address.I recently switched to a Mac, and I no longer have the option to print double-sided from my printer. I never had this problem until I was forced to use the Easy Print to get the drivers.

But I musn't forget that this even happened on a PC (Windows 10). Could it really be the OS version that is the problem and HP hasn't noticed this? I haven't had any others below 10.11 to verify it. All other Macs are on 10.11 or higher (mostly 10.11). This was a fluke that I had a 10.9 still running. HOWEVER, when I installed on the 10.9, that same printer had single-sided as the DEFAULT, and could make the selection in the print dialog to do 2-sided. I had the same problem on the 10.11 as I had with the M652 printer - turn it off at options and it STILL prints 2-sided and no choice in print dialog to undo that. One was running 10.11 and the other 10.9. I installed an HP LaserJet M402dne on two older iMacs. But if the person wants to ever print 2-sided, they have to go back in and reverse that if they know how. I was able to actually remove from printer options (in System Prefs>Printers/Scanners>Options and Supplies>Options>Uncheck duplex unit.

On a LJ Pro M402dn and a color LJ M652 printer, here is what I did: In the M652, I was able to do a preset (see next 2 attachments) to turn it off (again, I had to have a job that actually had 2 pages, and I had to make sure I didn't change the options for that printer in System Prefs). (See 1st attachment.) That should be that, right? Nope! I check the web interface to be sure 1-sided printing is the default. Most all of our Macs are running 10.11 today I had this problem on a 10.12.6. Our printers are manually set up with a static IP address, and I like to turn off Bonjour (and Air Print) so students can't find and print crap to them. Here is our setup and what I have had to do: That will turn off the option in the print dialog, BUT IT WON'T TURN OFF 2-SIDED! Ugh! (Although, on some of the printers it has - another ugh! Nothing is consistent here.) At that point, there is nothing I have found to go to 1-sided, but to re-check the Duplex Unit option in the Options tab and find another way. I don't doubt you do, but that was one of my problems when I tried to trouble-shoot it the first time! The other time I've seen the option grayed-out is when I went into the printer settings (System Prefs) in Options and Supplies, Option tab, and unchecked Duplex Unit. I have seen variations of the 2-sided problem, but no one has come up with a solution, including my chats with HP.įirst, if the 2-sided option is grayed-out in your print dialog, make sure you actually have a 2-page document you're trying to print. It has happened on nearly every computer (even PC) - only once it did not. I have set up several HP printers, color and monochrome, on Macs and PCs, for teachers at a couple of schools and this is driving me crazy! I spent a great deal of time chatting to an HP rep who did nothing for me (I think I knew more about printers than she did!).
