Ventura is not saving printing presets (fully)

With Ventura I have (painfully) discovered, that especially the specific paper tray (e.g. tray 2 on my printer with multiple trays) is not saved in the printing presets (neither for this print job, nor globally for all).

So before printing my DHL parcel labels I always need to manually select the correct tray. Doing that for each label can be quite annoying.

For me it seems one bug in Ventura 13.0, that has not existed with Monterey before.

iMac 27″, macOS 13.0

Just upgraded to Ventura 13.5.2, and this problem remains. Printer presets do not reliably recall those settings.

Has anybody looked to see whether this is resolved in Sonoma? I'm being offered the upgrade, but would like to wait a little longer to give Sonoma time to stabilise.

Nope, it isn't.

I'm not sure what the Paper Feed issue is, but anyone who does a lot of printing in macOS is livid at how Apple broke the printing subsystem -- not only is the new UI terrible, but printer presets are 100% broken, and it's a nightmare as now you have to manually set each printer option when you run a print job. A huge pain in the neck when you have multiple printers with multiple paper trays, different media, sizes, etc. And it's very easy to make one mistake when doing this, ruining an entire print job.

I wish I had never upgraded to Ventura, and Apple still has not fixed this. The automatic link embedding is just another example of terrible software decisions Apple makes.
