Printer presets not saving

Since upgrading to Ventura, my printer presets are not saving. I already had working printer presets in place before upgrading, such as 2 page B&W from drawer three. Part of the preset works. It will print 2 page B&W, but it doesn't pull specifically from drawer three. I've only noticed a problem in the drawer selection and the scaling options. I tried creating new presets and those didn't work either. I also updated the driver and it didn't correct it.


I've read posts from other people will similar issues, but the only responses I see are how to set up a preset. Not knowing how to create a preset is clearly not the issue. It doesn't seem to be printer specific (this happens with my Brother printer and my Canon printer), nor computer specific (this happens with both of my Macs). I had hoped this would be fixed with 13.1, but the problem still exists. Any ideas?

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.1

Hi LemmyIan,


That was really helpful in that I think was able to narrow down the issue. Are you by any chance printing via AirPrint?


Per Canon's instructions I have been printing directly to the printer via the printer's IP address. Each time I choose a preset the tray is not remembered.


If I print via AirPrint the presets are remembered. The reason Canon wanted me to print to an IP is because their driver allows me to set specific paper types and weights. Not sure how important that is now. But is seems like AirPrint resolved the issue.


Thanks again for your help.
