      If there is only one page then there is nothing to print on the back.
      Just duplicate the page in InDesign then there will be two pages to print.

        Just a stab in the dark, but is the printer itself set to print two-sided? Not your InDesign settings, but the printer itself?

        I only ask because a few years ago at work we had trouble printing double-sided and we had to access the printer via the the IP address and log into it and enable double-sided printing.

        We also had to go that route as well at one time because an update (either MacOS, Adobe, or printer) suddenly caused all files to print double-sided when we wanted on-sided. We had to log into the printer via IP address and make the default single, but allow double when selected in InDesign.

      This is how I print double-sided. https://i.imgur.com/toSD7kr.png (Your printer may show differently)
      Have you tried printing a PDF from Acrobat? Are you trying to print single sheets or a booklet?
