pdf print no option for single sided printing mac

I have also tried validating all my permissions, including printer permissions, updating my HP software, updating my Adobe and Word software, Pages, printing from a browser, closing programs and reloading, restarting the computer, etc. I have seen that for 'manual two-sided printing' you must print the odd pages, then print all the even pages, which is absolutely ridiculous.

On windows, you can select print double-sided, and it does not require changing settings twice and hitting print twice for every document-it simply prints half the pages, beeps to let you know to put the paper in again, and then prints the other side. Printing odd and then even pages also would not work when attempting to print 'multiples,' or two pages per side of page.

Since my printing volume is so high, I print multiples and then double sided, so each piece of printer paper contains four pages of text. Additionally, this means you can no longer automatically collate your papers, which is a major issue when dealing with print outs that are 60 pages long.
