P: Print - Printer options - Colour Matching is not sticky

Since I updated to MacOS 14.6, printing from Lr Classic to my Epson SCP800 has beeen a nightmare. The printer driver seems to have become completely unreliable. 

1. When I select a profile in Lr, the printer driver has color matching set to Epson Color Controls, and not (as it should) to Color Sync. Sometimes the driver opens with Color Sync correctly set, but then changing any other setting (eg, paper type) causes it to revert to Epson Color Controls.

2. When I make changes to the print settings (eg, changing paper type) and save a preset, the change is not present in the preset. This problem does NOT seem to occur when using the print driver from Apple Preview.

I have

-- reinstalled the Epson drivers

-- deleted and readded my printer

-- deleted my Lr preferences (but I'm confused about this because moving the com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7.plist file out of ~/Library/Preferences doesn't seem to change anything in my Lr setup, even if I restart my machine to clear caches--and no, I don't have "store preferences with catalog" set).

My current workaround is to

-- set Printer Manages Colors in Lr

-- set the paper ICC profile in the driver using Color Sync manually

-- reset the paper type every time I print, since the preset can't seem to save it

It seems unlikely that I'm the only person experiencing these problems but I'm surprised to see nobody else mention them. Any advice would be very welcome.
