Another approach, which should be 100% reliable would be to install another copy of the printer, and in its properties set the duplex option off. For example, if the printer is "HP LaserJet 1234", install another copy and name it something like "HP LaserJet 1234 (non-duplex)". Make the properties of the new printer exactly the same as for the original, except for the duplex setting. Then, print your report to that printer instead of the original one.
