Microsoft is giving businesses a choice: modernise your print environment, or risk being left behind.¹

Windows protected print (WPP) is not a mere feature update. It’s a push towards the future of printing – one that leaves legacy drivers and unsupported devices in the past.

What is Windows Protected Print?

WPP is a setting in Windows that, once activated, blocks all V3 driver-based print queues. In short: if you haven’t modernised your print setup, printing may simply stop working.

For organisations with diverse fleets and embedded print processes, this can be a major disruption. Print queues may fail. Labels, wide-format or industry-specific devices may become unsupported. And support tickets will spike.

A better way forward

The good news? You don’t need to wait until WPP is enforced to take action.
