About this tag
Printer driver isolation is a feature introduced in Windows 7 that improves print reliability and system stability by running printer drivers in a separate process from the print spooler. This prevents a faulty or crashing driver from taking down the entire print subsystem, reducing print failures and system hangs. For IT administrators managing network printers, printer driver isolation offers better management and flexibility, as drivers can be updated or replaced without disrupting other print jobs. This enhancement is part of a broader set of print management improvements in Windows 7, including print migration enhancements, Client-Side Rendering performance improvements, and location-aware printing.
