Printer Presets Not Saving

It has been discussed on here before without any fixes coming from Apple...

Essentially the problem is that I'm trying to set one preset for printing all of my documents and another preset that allows me to quickly print photos from Imagebrowser (a Canon program). The problem is that when you think you have saved a preset you really haven't. It just continues to use whatever settings were last used and often a bunch of work has to go in to getting things to print correctly. I know this worked correctly under Tiger. We're at 10.5.4 and Apple still hasn't sorted this out. Does anyone know of a third-party app or Applescripts that could be used to rectify this problem.

If I missed it, has there been a solution to this problem?

I'm having this same problem.

I have created a new preset called "black & white" so that I can print average things as black/white and save on ink.

Under the "Paper type/quality" dropdown, I have selected "quality" as "fast normal","color" as "greyscale", and on the "color options" "black/gray cartridge only".

After I have saved the preset and printed successfully, the next time I attempt to print something, and select the "black & white" preset I created, it has all default settings (nothing was saved).

I hope I'm not doing something wrong, but if I did I sure can't figure it out. This is pretty annoying, printing in B&W should a very common/basic option.
