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.

Howdy,

I just ran into this issue on a client's new Mac Mini, running Ventura 13.4, and none of the migrated print pre-sets worked correctly. I even deleted them, and re-added them, but they would not retain the customized settings properly.


I was able to resolve the issue by doing the following:



On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Printers & Scanners  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)

Control-click the printer in the Printers list on the right, then choose Reset Printing System.

Note: If no printers appear in the Printers list, you can Control-click the empty list and choose Reset Printing System.

After you reset the printing system, the list of printers in Printers & Scanners settings is empty.


  • finally, I re-added the printers, re-created the pre-sets, and they worked correctly! :)


Hope this helps someone out there!


Cheers,


Daniel
