Hi  @envy120user 
Mac is very different from Windows. With Mac there is no simple way to create defaults. You can create a preset, and then simply select that preset each time you want to print, or yes, you can go into the CUPS to make changes. It is a little more complicated but not hard to do. CUPS is Apple’s printing system.
Open your Internet browser and enter the following (or click on it): http://localhost:631/printers which will take you to a list of your printers.
If you get a message that states Web Interface is disabled, close the window, open Terminal by typing Terminal in Spotlight, or Navigate to /Applications/Utilities and double-click on Terminal.
In Terminal enter 'cupsctl Webinterface=yes'
Now you can open Safari again and go to http://localhost:631/printers.
The screen will now look something like the image below, choose your printer.
With the printer selected you see see the following,
When you choose Set Defaults, you will see a screen something like this,
Once you have completed this, you can close the browser and return to Terminal. This time in Terminal you can enter 'cupsctl Wbinterface=no'.
