- Open Printer settings by clicking on the Windows logo in the bottom left corner (or just tap the Windows key on the keyboard), and start typing printer. The clickable Printer Settings link should pop up by the time you get to "i".
- Select your printer. There are many, choose well. Click on the printer, then click the "Manage" button.
- Open "Printer Properties".
- Click the "Device Settings" tab, then click on the Duplex Unit drop-down and select "Installed". Click "OK" (Sure, you could click "Apply", but you're still going to have to click "OK" sooner or later. Don't worry, it's OK).
- We're back at the management window! This time, click "Printing Preferences" (Properties are about the printer, Preferences are about the print job).
- Click on the "Print on both sides" dropdown. You'll probably want "Yes, flip over". Click OK, and enjoy a 50% savings on wood pulp.

Two Sided Printing
When you find yourself being forced to manually flip pages for dual sided printing, it's probably because iPrint forgot the printers have duplexers for that sort of thing. Here's how to jog its memory:

Synergy/Google Sync Issues
Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. Probably a life lesson in there somewhere. (Thanks, Wind, for finding this)
Open Synergy and go to Gradebook --> Gradebook Main and click on the colorful Google icon.
Then click the gear icon.
Scroll all the way to the bottom, and check the "All Classes" box.
Click "Done" and hopefully enjoy having that much less stress to deal with.
According to the info button in that screenshot, Google only syncs assignments due within the last 30 days. Including all classes and hitting the Resync button overrides that behavior, because nothing is late anymore. Wind says that option didn't used to be there, so I'm guessing Synergy is trying to catch up to Google's flightiness, bless them.
If THAT doesn't work...
If Cruel Fate thwarts your efforts, you can also try resetting your Classroom code, feeding the new code to Synergy, and rerun the sync. In some instances that has resolved issues as well. Christina at the DO found this stratagem in the Synergy help desk, where it reputedly worked in at least one case.
