How do I change the print quality with macos Big Sur?

I just downloaded macos Big Sur and now there doesn't seem to be a way to change the print quality when I print a document. How do I do that?

If you have installed the current Fall 2020 or later printer driver, your work is not done until you reset the print system, remove, and re-add the printer with the newly added driver selected. If you don't do that, you will continue using the older driver.


With your printer powered and connected to the Mac, visit System Preferences : Printers & Scanners, and right-click on your printer entry. Choose Reset printing system… and then when you re-add the printer, select the appropriate printer driver, and click Add. Have you regained quality selection on the print panel with this updated driver, and does the print quality mirror your selection?
