Printer

I've had this problem before, but how do you stop the printer from printing 2-sided? I have a Brother 5150. Can't figure it out, and I have a closing!

If you click on your printer "properties" there should be an option box to check for two-sided. If it is checked, uncheck it. I don't have a Brother printer, but search the different tabs on the top of the properties and look for two-sided option.

I have Brother MFC 8840D, If it is anything like minde do the following.

When you go to Print Click on Preferences, Under the layout file make sure the "print on both sides box" is not checked. That should do it.

It only does it when I'm trying to print the docs that are in EDS format

When I go into the Preferences, it is in German. Never did figure that out on how to fix it

Don't know the German word for "duplex", but you need to uncheck that box in printer preferences.

When you get a chance, you need to uninstall your software using control panel and add/remove software. If you have a usb printer connection, unplug it before inserting your disk again. Then follow the directions on the screen as when to plug it in again. It is during the installation program that you chose German. Choose English this time, but go slow as the English box is nest to the German box and if you go too fast, it is easy to make the wrong choice again.

Sorry I'm late, but maybe for future reference. There is a drop down menu option next to every document that is listed in the EDS print dialogue. Yes, you can also disable the duplex option to your printer in it's property/utility setting.
