Configuring Single Sided As A Default Print For Mac
Configuring Single Sided As A Default Printer For Mac

I have a macbook air (2013) and a Canon 8350 all in one laser printer.it ALWAYS defaults to two sided printing and I NEVER want to print two sided as I print for business and have no use for it.I often forget to uncheck it and thus end up wasting paper and ink. I have looked through all the settings and cannot figure out how to get it to NOT default to two sided printing. I know I can save the settings, however it doesn't default to that new profile, so I would have to select the profile every time to change it, which makes no sense as a solution (I still have to remember to do it EVERY TIME). Anyone know of a way to stop this behavior? You can change the default via CUPS, which is the core printing system of OS X. Open Safari and enter the following URL By default on 10.8, access to the CUPS page is blocked. To enable it, open Terminal and type 'sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes' (without the quotation marks).

Enter the admin password when prompted and then refresh the Safari view. With the CUPS web page open, select the Printers tab and then select the printer you want to modify. Then from the Administration drop menu, change to 'Set Default Options'. This will show a new page with four menu headings (links); Options Installed, General, Banners and Policies. Select General.

I'd like to make double-sided printing the default for all applications. This item tells how to set it for one application, but by experimentation it only affects that application, not others. I Googled, looked in the system prefs, looked on this site - no luck. I want default print preferences for all Word 2010 documents to be single-sided printing at Fast Draft quality, but I find no place to set such a default and have to open Printer Properties and make adjustments in the settings for nearly every document I print.

Scroll down the list until you see the Print Style menu. Change it from 2 Sided to 1 Sided and then scroll down the page until you see the Set Default Options button. Click on this button to save the change. You will then be prompted to authenitcate to CUPS.

Enter the account name and password that has been set as the admin for this Mac. And then press the Log In button. You will then see another page stating that the information change is completed. You can now check that the change has been successful by selecting to print this page from Safari. With the correct printer selected, change to the relevant menu to ensure your modification has worked.

Sometimes, you get a new printer with a duplex feature, and your Mac, for whatever reason, decides that it should print on both sides of the page by default. (I think this is a problem with the HP printer driver installer, actually.) Fixing this is doable, butnot obvious. Here’s what you do:. In the Finder, click the “Go” menu (four over from the Apple menu).

Choose Utilities. In there, open Terminal. At the prompt, type “sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes” and press return (without the quotes). Type your computer password (you won’t see it as you type) and press return. Terminal should simply respond with a prompt like the first prompt, and nothing else.

Quit Terminal. In Safari or another browser, go to. You should see a screen titled “CUPS”. Click the “Printers” tab. (If you get asked for a password, use your computer user’s short user name, and your usual computer password.
