Whenever you print to a specific printer, a set of default options will be applied (in terms of page size, pages per sheet, paper size, one-sided/double-sided, color/gray-scale, etc) to your print job. To change these:
-
Click the windows icon in the bottom left corner of your screen and begin typing "Control Panel"
-
Click on Devices and Printers
-
Right-click on the printer and choose Printing preferences
-
You’ll see various tabs of options that vary depending on the type of printer. Most settings regarding one-sided/double-sided and color/gray-scale printing, and paper size are under a tab named something like “Printer Options”, “Image Options” or "Paper/Quality"
-
When done, click “Ok” to apply and close the window
Note: these new settings will be applied every time you print with this printer until they are changed again. These settings won’t be applied to any other printer, you’ll have to repeat these steps for any other printers
