change print driver settings on canon printer to select one or two sided printing

My Canon print driver prints double sided by default. I want to change to single sided, or be able to select single or double on a per document basis. How do I change my print driver settings?

If you are using the Canon UFR2 or Postscript printer driver, then the 2 sided setting exists under the Finishing menu.


If you want to change the default from 2 sided to 1 sided then you can either create a preset or use the CUPS web page to change the default. Reply if you want instruction on how that is done.

Here is the solution I used.

The Print driver for Canon, UFRII will default to double sided printing.

Select a document, and select Print.

Open Presets and select Show Presets (this step may not be necessary)

Open Layout, then open Finishing. Change Prunt Style to One side or one page

Open Presets and Save Current Setting. At this point you can change the name of the preset (one page) and select if the chafe is for only the selected printer or all (Canon) printers.

This sure seemed harder than it should be.
