I use an Epson printer that allows for double sided printing.
I have been able to print from my Mac many times now double sided, but today when I tried the option is grayed out and won't allow me to click on the drop down selection. I've been searching for a solution and I see people say to go to
System Preferences --> Printers/Scanners-->Options and Supplies --> and check the dual printing. But this isn't an option on my computer - there is no dual printing option and only shows the ink supply levels. So, then I found some information that said to
uninstall the printer completely and this will fix it. Well, I tried this also and after all that I still show a grayed out double sided printing drop down.
I am really hoping someone has some information on how I can fix this. I hate wasting so much paper doing single sided printing.
Thanks!
You do not say what exact Mac?
what exact macOS?

Is this wireless printing or cable?
try a cable connection if you are having issue with wireless?
Printers/scanners are typically the first causality in upgrading any OS, but it sounds like nothing changed for unless there was an update in the background—one down side to automatic updates installed

You can go to Epson website and search for updated drivers.
