Every time I print from Preview app I need to manually click on "Two-sided" checkbox. This is annoying when I have a bunch of documents to print. Is there any way to set "two-sided" as default?

In the print dialog you should save a new preset. Below you can find the steps to do so.

  1. Open the Print dialog. It will look something like this: enter image description here
  2. Check the Two-Sided box. enter image description here
  3. Go to the Presets drop down list and click Save As... enter image description here
  4. Type a name for the preset in the dialog and choose if you want this preset available for all your installed printers or just this one. enter image description here
  5. Now choose that preset in the dropdown list. The next time you will print something the preset will be automatically active, so it will print two-sided as default.
