When I go and print from MS Word, two side printing/duplex printing isn't an option. I opened pages and it works and safari seems to be ok. Any ideas? Very frustrating!
Got a tip for us?

Duplex printing not an option

Just checked Word here and see the same thing. Lame! Workaround would be to use that PDF menu in the bottom left corner of the print dialog, open it as a PDF and print from there, which should give you a 2-sided option.
so weird.. I don't know if it's a bug or something. Everything is updated.. I thought I was going crazy 😂
I think in classic Microsoft fashion they're bypassing normal MacOS functionality and providing their own lame alternative
I’m sure the setting is there somewhere, but it may not be in the same place you see it with the other apps. I routinely do duplex printing from Word.
Word can print duplex, but the app doesn't call it that. The easiest way to find out how is to open the Word Help menu and search for print. It'll tell you to open the Print dialog, select Layout, and then make your duplex selections.

Oh, so it can! Good catch. I didn't see the submenu that leads to that Layout section.
