    Unable to PRINT ON BOTH SIDES after Windows 11 update


    I have a RICOH laser printer which supports "wireless printing" Ever since I updated to Microsoft Windows 11, I couldn't select the option to PRINT ON BOTH SIDES. Now I'm just simply wasting paper.I regretted my decision to click "update".... There are a few things that Microsoft needs to fix URGENTLY!1 Why has the option "PRINT ON BOTH SIDES" disappeared? I've searched through all the advance settings but there was no such option.2 Please restore "seconds" for the Microsoft desktop digital clock!

    :)
