When printing in macOS, I can set the print quality in the Media & Quality section:
Is it possible to set the quality setting to ‘Best’ by default? It’s a bit annoying to change it every time (because I prefer to use ‘Best’ for most of my prints).

You define your settings and then save them as a custom preset in the Presets drop-down (Save Current Settings as Preset…).
After selecting your preset and printing once, the preset is remembered in all applications that use the standard print dialog.
Just make sure the Reset Presets Menu to "Default Settings" After Printing checkbox is unchecked in the Presets window/dialog (Show Presets… in the drop-down), which it should be by default.
