Printer Presets Not Saving

Love macOS Ventura but after updating all of my printer presets for the Toshiba copier at my work got scrambled. When trying to set them again the preset name would save but the settings would remain defaulted and any time you try and fix the preset settings they don't save so you can't click a preset and have the settings you want pulled up. This makes it very difficult to print and we're wasting paper. Any fix? I have a 2018 Mac mini with an intel core i7.

After nearly a year old fighting this issue in Ventura (and more recently Sonoma on my M2 Mac Mini), I was about to give up and go back to High Sierra, I finally found a solution that works through a tip on a similar thread on Adobe. I open any of my Photoshop files in Mac's "Preview" application, select my printer (in my case an Epson P900), choose my settings (size, sheet feed, Epson Watercolor Paper, etc.), and then save and name them as a preset. Now, when I go to print in Photoshop, these presets automatically appear and retain all my settings! This seems like an absurd workaround for a problem that Apple should have fixed a year ago, but it's fairly simple and, for me anyway, works like a charm. I hope this helps. I also hope Apple fixes this annoying problem soon!
