Turn OFF duplex printing in InDesign

InDesign is insisting on printing duplex, even when the "two sided" checkbox under "Printer" is unchecked. All my other programs print single sided. 

 

What is the fix for this?

    Okay. The resolution is with the printer.

    It's best to print from a PDF -- the PDF-X/4 is the usual recommended InDesign preset.

    Duplex printing is normally arranged via the printer driver.

      Thanks for the response. I guess that is one workaround. However, I should be able to print directly from InDesign, single sided. It would seem that the issue is the software, as the printer options are set for single sided and I'm not having this issue with any other software.
