Two sided printing missing even if not using a PDF form.

The community seems to be limiting their comments of two sided printing being a Pdf problem. I have this problem onall my printing, PDF or otherwise.

Mac mini 2018 or later

you dont write what printer model number you use, but if it was me I'd head to their site and see if they had

a new driver for Mojave

apple do not write device drivers for third party hardware and if the manufacturers don't bring a new version for testing they don't include the new driver in the os install which mean one has to make do with the older driver from the previous operating system which may not work or may not work fully

Set Up this New Printer as a New User


If everyone is using this printer, and all they get is the same settings, then it is a setting directly on the printer itself, or on each user.


So, to determine which is the official case, do this;

  1. Login: as an Administrator
  2. Create: a new Administrator User (System Preferences > Users & Groups)
  3. Create: a new document with two pages (use one hyphen on each page, to conserve ink)
  4. Print: the document
  5. Check: the document output



If there are two separate pages, then it’s a setting in the user account itself. If not, check the settings on printer itself (and on the print server, if applicable)

I have had printing on front and back since I got this printer over a year ago. Further, there is no item in the print selection box to do duplex printing. Neither, is there any Two Sided items mentioned in the Options in the Printing & Scanning System Prefs. It appears significant that many others have complained of this problem shortly after the advent of Mojave which seemed to be the beginning of my problem. Also, it appears that some of those complainers have printers from different manufacturers than my Epson and yet they are having the same problem. This seems to point the finger at Mojave. Comment?
