Change Default Scaling in Preview app in MacOS Ventura 13.2.1

I am printing image PDFs through Preview to an Epson SureColor P800. The images have to be a particular size -- the size they were developed in at 300ppi. Preview is the easiest app to use for that. However, the scaling in Preview has to be manually set to 100% each time and if the iMac loses connection with the printer and the job is paused and restarted, the scale size changes and the image prints out at the wrong size.

My printer is connected to the iMac (3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7, 128 GB Ram, 27-inch Retina Display) with a USB3.0 Jancane Switch Selector.

I would like to find a way to make sure that the default scaling stays at 100%.

Old issue, new issue, what changed?

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.3.1 - I would start there
