About this tag
IPP printing refers to the Internet Printing Protocol, a modern standard that Windows is increasingly adopting as the default method for printer setup and management. Microsoft's Windows Ready Print initiative, formerly the Modern Print Platform, will make IPP-based inbox drivers the preferred choice for new eligible printer installations starting in July 2026. This shift aims to eliminate the need for traditional vendor printer drivers, reducing security risks and administrative overhead. Windows 11 Insider builds are already adding hardware IDs for the Microsoft IPP driver, and a new printer compatibility badge in Settings indicates whether a printer supports IPP and Protected Print Mode. For IT professionals, understanding IPP printing is essential for planning future printer deployments and managing the transition away from legacy driver workflows.
