Printing: Set Duplex default to None

[PeterR]

Currently when I press CTRL-P to print, the Duplex setting defaults to "Auto (Long Edge)". How can I get it to default to "None" so that I don't end up printing stuff on the back of my paper by accident?

I have tried looking in Control Panel's "Devices and Printers" but the only settings I can find there are Auto/GDI/XPS. I presume that is not relevant?

Hello PeterR,

Please set that value to the one you need it to be, then do a single print.
After that without making any other changes - try to restart the Editor. Does it then again default to the "Auto" option or did it remember the last one you used?

With my printer my "default" is none:

So maybe you can change the default setting in your orinter drivers if the above initial suggestion does not help? Maybe this default is taken from what the printer reports to us.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Thank you. I was confusing Auto (None) with Auto (Long Edge). I wanted it to just say "None" because it was an "Auto" setting that had given me double sided printing, but now I understand !

I will keep an eye on it over the next few days and see what happens.
