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:

  1.  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".


  2. Select your printer.  There are many, choose well. Click on the printer, then click the "Manage" button.




  3. Open "Printer Properties". 
  4. 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).


  5. We're back at the management window! This time, click "Printing Preferences" (Properties are about the printer, Preferences are about the print job).


  6. 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.
