Once the printer driver, model, communications, and features are set correctly, then you can select printer default settings, which have to be set in the correct places. First, on the Advanced Tab, we do not change any of these settings except: for GoPrint-managed printers. as in the fake department SCIC, turn off "Enable advanced printing features". (For all printers not managed by GoPrint, leave this on for extra functionality.)  Now, from the Advanced tab, choose the Printing Defaults button. The dialog boxes you see here from here on are driver-specific; for the X-GPD driver, you see 4 tabs. Choose the Advanced tab and expand the settings under Document Options-> Paper/Output. If there is a setting for Banner Page, turn it off; if there is a setting for Job Identification, change it to Disable Job ID (which turns the banner page off).

Now, choose the Paper/Output tab. In the Paper: textbox, if the first setting is "Mixed Size Output", then you won't be able to change the duplex (2-Sided) setting, so we'll fix the Paper size first: using the big dropdown button next to Paper:, choose Other Size..., then from the Output Paper Size: dropdown, choose Letter, then OK. Once the Paper: textbox no longer says "Mixed Size Output", you have the option to change the duplex default: under 2-Sided Printing, choose 2-Sided Print. It is appropriate to set duplex as the default for all SCIC printersnetworked printers (unless an operator has specified otherwise), and for any other printer whose Comments textbox on the General tab ends with a notation that this printer should be set to duplex by default. (That choice was made by the printer operator.)

(That choice was made by the printer operator.) Right under that, make sure the Paper type: textbox is Unspecified; anything else will cause unwanted prompts for different papers.

For all Canon MFDs, there will be dual queues: a BLDGRoom-CC5051 queue for b&w, and a BLDGRoom-Color-CC5051 queue for color printing. You set this in the Printing Defaults on the Color tab, where Color Mode must be set to Black and White for the default-b&w queue.
