macOS Ventura (13.1) print settings don't save

[jpb2251]

I having the same issue on MacOS 13.4.  I installed Xerox print driver 5.13.2_2427.  I tried to set up multiple print presets (Plain - single sided, Plain - single sided stapled, Plain - double sided, Plain - double sided stapled, Bond - single sided, Bond - single sided stapled, Bond - double sided, Bond - double sided stapled, etc).  

The presets don't work.  None of the instructions hold.  Did anyone find a solution to this problem?

I deleted the printer and reloaded it with the 3.0 driver, which communicates via AirPrint.
It works. Unfortunately, this is a very, very old driver.

Same problem! Just updated to Ventura Friday and now I have that issue. This is a huge problem as I need it to save last used to save a ton of time during the day. Hope a fix is coming soon!!!! So frustrating everytime I try to do an OS update there is some kind of issue. I have waited to update in hopes that issues were addressed. Didn't even do the last OS because didn't want to have the hassle.

I tried changing the defaults via CUPS, but unfortunately for me that had no effect. Thanks for the tip though.

I have the same issue.  I've had luck by scrolling down to the printer options section of the print dialogue and changing settings there.  They have to reset for each print, but it works for me, with one caveat - it seems that if you send a job while another is still processing, your settings won't get sent.  So you have to wait.  Yes, it's a real pain.

dam same issue here, was hoping for a solution when I found your post. Also cannot get it to print double sided.

You can try setting defaults within CUPS (http://localhost:631). Click on printers header and if you get the disabled message, copy what’s within the quotes, open Terminal, paste and hit Enter. Refresh the CUPS warning page and you should see a listing of all installed printers.

Click on the link for the correct printer. On the next screen, click the administration drop down and use Set Default Options. You can navigate subcategories to change what you need. You will need to apply changes at the bottom of each category before moving on to the next. The first time you apply changes it will prompt you for a username and password. This is the user and password of your Mac.

Doing this *should* at least help with any repetitive changes being done to the Xerox Features section of the Mac print window.

I talked to Apple tech support on chat - the support person told me they are aware of the issue in Ventura, but they don't know when or if fix will be available... so I would assume only reverting back to Monterey is the only way currently. Not really sure why they were changing something that wasn't broken and actually looked better

Hi,

I have the same issue. Has anyone found something to fix it ?

Thx

Thanks for your reply. I tried, but it did not change anything. No matter what preset I use (custom defined or Last Used Settings) it just decides to use random values in the Xerox Features menu. Unfortunately it seems like it will be Apple's fault :(
