> None of the printer settings are remembered.

Yes, correct -- the Duplex and Colour settings seem to be coming from the printer settings -- as far as I can see, "Print annotations" and "Force rasterization" are however default settings within Okular.

Okular Version 23.08.5 -
The Help for the "Force rasterization" option points out that, enabling the option usually gives somewhat worse results and, that it's only useful for the case of documents which appear to print incorrectly.
