Ventura is not saving printing presets (fully)

Ugh - still an issue with Ventura update 13.1...

Submit feedback here:

Feedback - macOS - Apple

The print driver is still broken in Ventura 13.4. The presets functionality is the issue. Not using the presets, the settings seem to be sticky.

same thing here, we're using a HP Laserjet 500 MFP M525 and it does not store the paper trays from which it should print, remains in automatic while in the preset there should be stored specific trays, really annoying. I removed and reinstalled the drivers but it did not help. Issues are since upgrade to Silicon and Ventura, I have recreated the presets several times.

Yes, this is a known issue with vendor drivers, that the paper feed setting is not saved in the presets. Unfortunately, Apple will need to fix this - hopefully in the next update.

All of the presets that I've done are saved. Most are just custom page sizes. For my Epson if it choose a 4x6 paper it uses the correct tray.

Did you try Safe Mode?

It's not just the feed tray settings for me but also includes paper type, color correction settings and so on. I need to go through the whole darn list to print. Frustrating since I use the same paper type, size, color management settings (ColorSync with custom profile), borderless extension settings, etc. Not a great situation. I am not clear it is Apple or might it be Canon? I cannot say, but would like it fixed. I'm patient, but don't enjoy my work when added steps are required to do something that was once simple.

I have an OKI C942 which does white ink and white+CMYK and the tray options (both tray itself and output tray facing up vs down) never save, the spot color selection saves, but not the percentage of spot color, and half the time the paper thickness saves and half the time it doesn’t.

I have almost same printer OKI c941 I'm not so sure about all options but basically I would say everything saves besides the trays, if I remember well. but I do remember sometimes it didn't save the paper attributes yes correct. but it may be some other reasons. like changing other setting to much so it conflicts so the software many times changes things because of conflicts. but maybe it does have to do with the same bug. but the worst for me is the tray because its taking from other trays and printing on wrong paper etc etc. crazy. and I have no idea why apple is not listening to us! its not apples type. usually they do listen. but for some reason they are deaf here.

every morning I go to Product Feedback - Apple and complain you should all do the same. and maybe maybe it will get fixed. I think apple is to busy with their vision pro, and stopped focusing on fixing things.

It only took 8 months!

My last post was removed on the pretext it mentioned something I have deliberately omitted this time.

I do have it on good authority that is indeed fixed though so anyone who can't wait for 13.5 public will have to do their own research ;)

Maybe next we'll get the ability to reliably search our emails in mail or spotlight search will work to index google drive once more :)

I recently upgraded to Ventura 13.6, and I am having the same trouble saving presets. Existing presets work as expected, but any "saves" do not in fact keep any values set. I have even seen where I looked at a setting in a drop-down menu, then went back to look at it again, and it had flipped the setting. It also does not seem to maintain the settings of the job I had just printed - when I return to the printer screen, the default settings are in place. I made the mistake of overwriting an existing preset, so now I have to change SIX different settings before each print job. I'm sure complaining to Apple won't get an immediate fix (since this problem seems to have existed for quite a while, based on the dates of other posts), but what else can I do? Maybe if enough people complain, they'll bump the priority of this issue. Yeah, right... :(

Having this problem in macOS 14.2.1, going to try the Print System Reset but don't expect anything to help.

I do a lot of printing via shell scripts and it seems like those settings are being honored, but need to do some further testing. Might be a workaround for this, until Apple deems this problem worthy of solving sometime in the next decade.
