I just upgraded to macOS Ventura and now the Preview.app doesn't seem to have a Print Quality option or a Color vs Black & White option when I'm printing from Preview. The only weird thing I notice in the Print dialog (shown below) is that it says my HP OfficeJet is using a Laser Printer driver. I've tried removing and reinstalling the printer a couple of times and it ends up the same way each time. Mac Studio 2022, Ventura 13.0.1 HP OfficeJet Pro 9020 Series screenshot of print dialog from Preview.app The file I'm trying to print is inherently black and white, so I thought that might be part of the problem. So I opened a color image in Preview.app and tried to print it. It turns it into black and white in the print preview and doesn't offer me the Quality or Color vs Black/White either: screenshot of preview with color image screenshot of print dialog showing the color image in black/white Any idea where it is or why the Print Quality and Color/Black&White might be missing?
