yosemite 10.10.3
printer driver 12.3.0.0
have deleted and re-installed printer
when printing using airprint option 2 sided can be choosen (but other options are limited)
when printing using driver (to enable lower qulity printing - i.e. fast) - double sided is a grayed out option - and no matter which options are utilised it will not highlight.
is there a solution ? 😐
thanks

I've been searching (on and off) for a solution to that very problem (on an MX5350) since January -- about when I upgraded to Yosemite. Is it a problem with the OS or the driver?

I just did all that (mine's an MG5350 not an MX, by the way), but the two sided printing function is still greyed out. If I click on the "Presets" box and select "Show Presets..." option, I get a menu of what is set for the default setting (under "Layout", the "Two sided" option shows "Off"), but no means of changing any settings. How can I do that? Do I need to get into Terminal or something to set it to "On"? If so, what's the command line? Or if not, what else can I do? Thanks for your help.

Solution found by trial and error. You may wish to note it for future reference.
Under "Printer" there was a line, "Nearby printers", showing another version of "Canon MG5300 Series" - I clicked on that and it showed "Configuring printer" for a few seconds. A new printer by the same name appeared in the "Printers and Scanners" section of System Preferences.
Then, when I clicked on the options window (at that point showing "Copies & Pages"), the layout was back in the order I was used to when 2-sided was an available option, and (glory be!) when I clicked on "Layout", up came a beautiful black lettering version of the "Two sided:" box. Click on that and I get the familiar options of "Off / Long-Edge Binding / Short-Edge Binding".
I hope this helps others facing the same problem.
