(SOLVED) Word '16 C2R -- Duplex Print IS Default

Post by CraigS26 »

2016 Word C2R Print Default is NOW Print Both Sides Long Edge Flip.
Manually select - Print 1-Sided - and it will -- BUT close and Re-open and the Default is Both Sides again.
Clk Save after manual 1-Side Print of 2 pages does nothing.

Googling so far No Help. Any ideas appreciated as I can't always remember to look and change the setting.

What do you see when you click Printer Properties below the printer name?
Best wishes,

(Printer Properties / Printer Shortcuts ) Print on Both Sides -- Changed to NO/ OK/ Print open Document shows Print One-Side/ Save/ Open/ Print/ Print Both Sides is STILL the Default.

Thanks, anyway, Hans.
If you're stumped, I'm in trouble.

Will keep Googling and testing.

Try setting the print preferences in Windows, not from Word:

Quit Word.

Start > Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
Select the printer, then click Manage.
Click 'Printing Preferences'.
Specify 'Print on one side'.
Click OK.

Now try printing in Word again.
Best wishes,
Hans

THAT was the way to do it. Tried several and all showed One-Side now.
Start > Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners/Choose my Printer/ Manage/ Printing Preferences
With Factory Defaults hi-lighted It Actually was to CHOOSE "NO" for Print on Both Sides via drop-dn List.
NO idea HOW it changed but I'm, again, indebted to you!!
All the Best!!
