how do you stop Duplex / 2 sidied printing

[Window Guy]

I have tried everything to stop 2 sided printing, my Adobe says it is up to date ?

I am running a MAC and just upgraded to High Sierra and this started out of no where.

I have called Brother and they keep saying it is Adobe, tried all the fixes sent out in this forum network  and no luck !

Anyone have any ideas ?

I am having the same problem, even when "two-sided" is unchecked in the system dialogue. I suspect something happened in the transition to High Sierra or one of the update packs. I have walked through all the troubleshooting info I can find online, including directly editing the preferences file, and the problem persists. I am hoping someone from Adobe will offer some suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.
