While there isn't a direct 'reset printer settings' button, you can effectively reset by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer driver. This usually clears any custom settings that might be causing problems and configures the printer with default settings. You may also need to remove the printer entirely from the 'Printers & scanners' section in 'Settings'.
