Windows 10: Epson WF-2830 Printer Settings.

I'm trying to get a new Epson WF-2830 printer to save the 2 sided printer setting as default. When I make the change the Apply box never highlights. I can only click on OK. This works for the present print job only. If I start another print job it defaults back to 1 sided printing. I have tried everything I can think of including deleting and reinstalling the driver and all the Epson software several times. Installing just the driver from Epson installs it as a scanner and using Add Printer in Windows adds a basic Windows driver with no settings. This is happening on my desktop running build 21359 and my sons computer running the latest build of Windows 10. Anyone know of a way to change the default of this printer from 1 sided to 2 sided printing permanent?

As suspected, one is for the scanner, the other is not....







First image includes the scanner, the second image does not; thus why two XP-960 printers shown in Devices and Printers.

To amend my original post.... I just found that the 2-sided settings on mine DOES stick!!! Even after the print job is done, and the machine is powered off.

That said, my printer (Epson XP-960) is strictly wireless (Wi-Fi), and for some reason (which I can't explain), I have two Epson XP-960's in my Devices and Printers.





Anyway, the printer I use to print my documents - Epson5CC810 (XP-960) does have 2-sided chosen and it does stick. With that I would suggest you check Devices and Printers panel to see if you the same phenomenon.

Let me know.

My HP LaserJet Pro and OfficeJet Pro [both are multi-function] have the setting in Devices and Printers and right-click Printer Properties in the middle of the menu, not the bottom Properties. There is an Preferences button that has the choice for 2-sided printing, has always stayed. The settings in Print in a program such as WordPerfect, WordPro, Word, etc., are only for that time and usually only for that document.
