I have a macbook air (2013) and a Canon 8350 all in one laser printer.it ALWAYS defaults to two sided printing and I NEVER want to print two sided as I print for business and have no use for it.I often forget to uncheck it and thus end up wasting paper and ink. I have looked through all the settings and cannot figure out how to get it to NOT default to two sided printing. I know I can save the settings, however it doesn't default to that new profile, so I would have to select the profile every time to change it, which makes no sense as a solution (I still have to remember to do it EVERY TIME).
