Presets in PrintTool not sticking

The presets (saved recipe in QuadTone RIP) in PrintTool are not sticking.
Every time I open the PrintTool, my QuadTone recipes are blank.

PrintTool v2.3.4
MacOS: Sonoma 14.7.1

(Note: All the rest is working, except the saving of presets!)

Any help appreciate it … Thank you.

Hi,

This is a known issue with recent versions of OS X that are even affecting OEM print setting. You may want to enquire with Roy Harrington of QuadTone RIP whether he is planning his own type of presets saving to skirt the OS X problem.

One solution that some users, like Cone Editions, have found effective is to use older Mac mini computers (often purchased affordably on eBay) running a macOS version prior to Ventura. They connect their printer/s directly to the Mac mini via USB. Then, they share the printer on the network. This allows their main imaging computers to access the saved print settings by sharing the screen of the Mac mini, as earlier macOS versions retained those settings.

This approach essentially creates a dedicated print server using an older, more compatible macOS version, bypassing the issues you might be encountering with newer operating systems.
