Over the past year, the MORSE team has been working in collaboration with the Windows Print team to modernize the Windows Print System. This new design represents one of the largest changes to the Windows Print stack in more than 20 years. The goal was to build a more modern and secure print system that maximizes compatibility and puts users first. We are calling this new platform Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP). We believe users should be Secure-by-Default which is why WPP will eventually be on by default in Windows.
Recently, we announced our plan to end servicing for third-party drivers in Windows. Moving away from drivers has allowed us to significantly improve the print stack. This article will explain the case for adopting driverless printing, provide some insights on compatibility, and preview the security improvements provided by Windows Protected Print Mode.
One of the largest motivations behind the change is security. The Windows print system has been a key target for attackers. The Spooler runs with high privileges and must load code from the network which is difficult to accomplish with low friction and high security. Print bugs played a role in Stuxnet and Print Nightmare, and account for 9% of all Windows cases reported to MSRC. Securing the print stack is challenging, in large part due to the use of third-party drivers. WPP blocks all third-party drivers and implements a wide range of new security protections.
To put these changes in some context, MORSE did an analysis of past MSRC cases for Windows Print to assess if these changes would help. What we found is that Windows Protected Print Mode mitigated over half of those vulnerabilities.
Although we know some may find changing configurations inconvenient, we believe it is best for overall user security.
The Driver Problem
The security model for print drivers relies on a shared responsibility approach where the Windows printing stack and third-party drivers must each play a role in providing functionality and enforcing security promises while avoiding introducing vulnerabilities. This is like some other subsystems in Windows, but printing is a particularly challenging scenario because both we and customers want the process to be as frictionless as possible. Balancing security, convenience and backwards compatibility with older devices is challenging. Here are some examples.
Print Nightmare
This vulnerability was the result of an authorization bypass bug which allowed authenticated remote users to install print drivers using the RPC call RpcAddPrinterDriver and specify a driver file located in a remote location. The attacker’s chosen file was then loaded as a DLL and executed in the highly privileged Spooler process, effectively granting the attacker SYSTEM privileges.
Fixing this vulnerability was complicated by the fact that such a feature exists by design called Point and Print which allows for frictionless driver installation by a print server to the client. Remote servers can install drivers without an admin prompt on the client assuming the appropriate configuration (registry setting) on the client. Once a fix was in place, users of V3 drivers, often in larger environments, suddenly found themselves with Admin login prompts when trying to use their printers. Users of V4 drivers did not experience this problem. Although the V4 model was introduced in 2012, 9 years before this vulnerability in 2021, most printers still used V3 drivers. This really speaks to some of the challenges with the driver-based model.
Compatibility
One challenge with print drivers is their age. Some print drivers are decades old and are incompatible with modern security mitigations, such as Control Flow Guard (CFG), Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CET), Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG), and the many other protections Microsoft has implemented over the years. These protections are often “all or nothing,” meaning that all participating binaries must take steps to be compatible for the protection to be effective. Since not every print manufacturer has taken the necessary steps to update these drivers, the print service does not currently benefit from these modern exploit mitigations.
Excessive Permissions
Loading code from third parties presents several challenges from a security perspective. Not only must you ensure you’re loading the code you intended to load, that code may change the behavior of your application in unexpected ways. For example, drivers support complex parsing logic, which can lead to bugs allowing full control of the Spooler or related print process. Many users don’t understand that print drivers run as SYSTEM which is more powerful than a typical administrator account. So, bugs in drivers are extremely useful for attackers.
In the event a vulnerability is discovered in a driver, Microsoft is dependent on the third-party to update the driver. When publishers no longer exist or consider older products out of support, there is no clear way to address the vulnerability.
IPP Basics
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an HTTP-based protocol and supports many of the authentication methods one would expect from HTTP. Each IPP request is an HTTP POST message, and printers are identified using URI’s such as ipps://printer.example.com/ipp/print. IPP supports all the common operations one would expect from a printer.
Driverless printing supports a limited number of Printer Document Languages (PDL) based on public standards such as PWG Raster and PDF. This limits the unique number of formats the operating system must handle for conversion and greatly simplifies code. Client-side rendering is used to generate the final document sent to the printer.
Unlike LPR/LPD, IPP supports built-in encryption. This support is like the encryption used today when using HTTPS over the web. Access control and authentication are also part of the protocol. Although not intended as a security benefit, the IPP Driverless specifications support a small number of PDLs, limiting the amount of complex parsing required by the client. Today, drivers implement over 40 different PDL’s, which can result in vulnerabilities.
State of IPP Printing in Windows Today
The Windows Print Team has been working to bring IPP printing to more users for some time now. Today, if you view any of our print documentation, you are presented with a notice.
This notice is intended to encourage users to switch to IPP, when possible, and encourage industry partners to switch to IPP-based printing. There will be cases when custom functionality is needed, and vendors can extend support by creating a Print Support App (PSA). IPP Printing in Windows today works side-by-side with driver-based printing, allowing users to choose either configuration. Let’s discuss some of the components of the IPP Print system and the security advantages and disadvantages.
Print Support App (PSA)
PSAs allow printer OEMs and IHVs to extend our existing IPP support for their specific needs. Not all printers support the same features and configuration options. PSAs allow for tailored user experiences without compromising the experience users expect.
These applications take advantage of the Universal Windows Application Platform (UWP), which are more restricted than Win32 applications. Users have more control over what permissions the application can use, and management of updates is automatic through the Microsoft store. Windows will automatically install the correct PSA for users, if one exists, based on the printer’s hardware ID.
Point and Print
Point and Print is a feature that allows users to connect to a remote printer without providing drivers, and has all necessary drivers installed on the client. Point and Print remains with IPP, but it works differently. We no longer must install drivers, but some basic configuration is required to set up the printer. This process works as follows with IPP.
Windows client and server make a connection over RPC
Both Server and Client use their inbox Microsoft IPP driver
Server uses IPP to communicate with Printer
PSA is installed, if available
Security
IPP-based printing in Windows today removes the need for third-party drivers, and any third-party code installed to support printing runs within an AppContainer, limiting the risk to users. Encryption is supported for all communication, and with a limited number of PDL’s supported, parsing complexity is substantially decreased. This is a meaningful improvement over the model requiring the use of drivers.
However, today, IPP-based printing still runs side-by-side with driver-based Printing. Point and Print, for example, will either install a driver or install an IPP printer in the current configuration, depending on what the server requires. While this approach minimizes compatibility risk, it also greatly limits the changes we can make to improve security.
IPP Printing in Windows today is already a great step forward from a security perspective, and we encourage users to switch whenever possible. We also encourage administrators to prioritize this action across your fleet.
Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP)
WPP builds on the existing IPP print stack where only Mopria certified printers are supported, and disables the ability to load third-party drivers. By doing this, we can make meaningful improvements to print security in Windows that otherwise could not happen. Our goal is to ultimately provide the most secure default configuration and provide the flexibility to revert back to legacy (driver-based) printing at any time, if users find their printer is not compatible.
When users enable WPP mode normal spooler operations are deferred to a new Spooler which implements the WPP improvements. Let’s look at some of those changes.
Limited/Secure Print Configuration
In WPP, many legacy configurations are no longer valid. A common attack on Windows would abuse the fact that a printer port can be a Dynamic Link Library (DLL), and attackers would abuse this to load malicious code. Attackers would also use symbolic links to trick the Spooler into loading malicious code, and that is no longer possible. There are many legacy API’s which are updated to restrict the configuration to values that make sense only when using IPP. This will limit the opportunity for attackers to leverage the Spooler to modify files on the system.
Module Blocking
API’s that allow module loading will be modified to prevent loading of new modules. For example, AddPrintProviderW, and other calls, would result in loading modules which may be malicious. We will also enforce a restriction that ensures that only Microsoft Signed binaries required for IPP are loaded.
Per-User XPS Rendering
XPS rendering will run as the user instead of SYSTEM in WPP. Most print jobs in Windows today involve some XPS conversion and the process that handles this task (PrintFilterPipelineSVC) is the source of many memory corruption vulnerabilities. As with the other issues, by running this process as the user, the impact of these bugs is minimized.
Lower Privileges for Common Spooler tasks
Removing drivers also allows us to take common tasks performed by the Spooler process and move those to a process running as the user. If these processes have memory corruption vulnerability, that impact will be limited to actions only the user can perform.
The new Spooler Worker process has a new restricted token that removes many privileges such as SeTcbPrivilege, SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege and no longer runs at SYSTEM IL.
It does retain SeImpersonatePrivilege which is something we intend to remove in the future.
Binary Mitigations
By removing third-party binaries, we are now able to enable many of the binary mitigations Microsoft has invested in over the years. Processes in WPP will run with many new binary mitigations. Here are some of the highlights:
Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CFG, CET) – Hardware based mitigation which helps to mitigate Return Oriented Programming (ROP) based attacks.
Child Process Creation Disabled – Child process creation will be blocked. This prevents attackers from spawning a new process if they manage to get code execution in the Spooler.
Redirection Guard – prevents many common path redirection attacks which often target the Print Spooler.
Arbitrary Code Guard – prevents dynamic code generation within a process.
These protections make it more difficult to abuse a vulnerability once one is found.
Point and Print
As mentioned above, Point and Print will normally allow driver loading as well as IPP printer configuration. Some users may have an environment with only IPP printers, but malicious attackers can pretend to be a printer and trick users into installing drivers. WPP prevents Point and Print from ever installing third-party drivers, mitigating this risk.
Better Transport Security
Printers make use of a variety of transport protocols and transport encryption is not always used. Often, it is not clear to users if their traffic is encrypted, and determining this can be difficult. IPP supports strong encryption, like what is used by web browsers today. WPP will make it clear to users when their traffic is encrypted and, when possible, encourage users to enable encryption.
Continued Investments to Make Windows Secure by Design
As you can see, moving away from driver-based printing offers many benefits to users and allows Microsoft to make many meaningful improvements to our print system. The existing driver-based system, established decades ago, depends on many third parties and Microsoft all playing their role, which has proven to be too slow for modern threats.
IPP-based printing is well supported, and users who switch will reduce their exposure to attacks. Users who switch to Windows Protected Print Mode will go even further in ensuring they are safe from attackers. WPP is now in Insider builds and we hope you will help us test by trying the feature and providing feedback. Users can enable the feature by following the instructions provided here.
This is an early release; many features are incomplete and subject to change based on feedback. For example, today we lack a UI, and many security improvements are still in progress. Over time these improvements will continue to roll out to Insider Builds as we work to improve WPP.
Also, Windows Protected Print Mode will qualify for the Windows Insider Preview Bounty Program, and we encourage security researchers to identify and report bugs.
Seems that Microsoft has switched over printing to driverless-IPP-only (Mopria) but not taken care of multi-function printers with a built-in scanner. These scanners are also driverless by the standard, most using the HTTP-based eSCL protocol, some using Microsoft's WSD. Under Linux we support these protocols so both printing and scanning with multi-function devices just works. So to complete WPP generic eSCL and WSD support needs to get implemented in the operating system without need of installing a driver from the hardware manufacturer.
One workaround, but it requires working at the command line, is running Linux's scanning stack, SANE, under WSL ...
Windows has inbox eSCL support and it's existed for some time. If the device supports eSCL and is complaint with the Mopria specification it should work. So we could have a bug there.
I googled around and found your blog. It sounds more like a press release spin from Microsoft. With all due respect, perhaps, you can pass my comment on because nobody at Microsoft seems to care or listen to customer forums or Microsoft feedback forms you fill out or prioritize individual customers that are impacted by closed door tech developer sessions and decisions.
While you do explain the thought or "why" behind some of the changes for print protocols there still seems to be a complete disconnect in being respectful to users and manufacturers you impact when you implement changes without enough research, testing and warning. Before a new drug can be released, it has to go through intense trials and testing before it gets FDA approval and is released to the larger population.
Your 24H2 update shut down "Scan to PC" functionality for dozens of manufacturer models and millions of individual and business customers. Then, some source is leaking FAKE NEWS that Microsoft has issued a fix with their latest update. In my last conversation with Brother last week, their escalated tech said they have compiled a list of thousands of customers to notify them when Microsoft does issue a fix and the latest information they have is sometime in 2025. So, people that have state of the art expensive top of line printers they use in small to medium size offices can no longer scan from the PC to the computer.
The only workaround solutions given were to un-install 24H2, but, unfortunately, for most people, after a week or two, you can't un-install the update which leaves one other solution. You have to reset the PC and wipe it clean of everything and then load Windows 10, install your scanning software and drivers and then update the computer to Windows 11. You can't just download Windows 11 because the only download offered by Microsoft is for 24H2, so, you have to use the download for Windows 10, first.
DOES MICROSOFT AND THE DEVELOPERS FEEL THE PAIN FROM THAT? I spent an entire weekend going through this process on 4 computers re-installing all my software and first finding that I could not reset the PC from the Windows 11 download or I'd have 24H2 and the same problem.
24H2 has all kinds of other bugs and issues. It causes a conflict with NVDIA Broadcast detecting the camera. Some computers were fixed with NVIDIA's own update, but, many still have the problem.
Another unrelated issue I want to share with you, as well, in the hope that you can pass it on to the Microsoft team and/or someone from Microsoft actually reads your blog is about the new Editor function in Microsoft 365. Note, nobody from Microsoft tells customers anything and nobody responds to using the Microsoft feedback about the feature that is in Office. You don't even get an automated email response acknowledging that you sent Microsoft some feedback. It's like nobody cares.
This is the kind of support you'd expect from an open source application because it is FREE, but, not from being a paid customer to Microsoft. Outside of your blog, I have not seen any awareness to customers or manufacturers provided about an impending change to protocols for printers in a Windows update. Just roll it out first and see what happens and who complains!
REGARDING THE NEW EDITOR FEATURE IN MICROSOFT 365. The feature overrides all the settings in the OPTIONS to adjust spelling and grammar checking in Word documents and in Classic Outlook and the NEW Outlook. It completely renders all the manual controls and settings useless and you CAN'T TURN IT OFF. I've heard that some people in some editions may have a toggle switch to turn the Editor OFF, but, in most Microsoft 365 subscriptions, you have no toggle switch or radio box to TURN IT OFF.
Some people who are programmers are complaining about it because they are writing code and the stupid editor can't distinguish these are not mis-spelled words, etc. Some people like myself that write business documents and emails and have an excellent command of language prefer to write our own documents without this flawed Editor thinking for us.
BASIC 101 - If you build a light, you have an ON/OFF switch. If you have a car, you have an ON/OFF switch for the engine. What are the developers thinking? Who gives them feedback? Who are they accountable to? Developers who invent new features are extremely intelligent and gifted, but, often those geniuses are the very people that lack common sense in developing features for the customers they serve.
Microsoft RECALL - I shouldn't have to open Command Prompt and learn programming commands to turn RECALL - OFF. Is it my computer anymore? Do I have any say in how my computer works or what features I want to leverage? Why does Microsoft have to decide what is best for me?
I'm on a private network with a VPN. There is risk in everything one does including crossing the street or driving your car or walking up a flight of stairs. I don't want or need all these frequent and sometimes draconian security updates that interrupt and destroy my computer experience to protect me from everything. If some people are stupid to open phishing emails or visit nasty websites, should not mean that I need the same kind of protection and decisions made for me by the software where I have to stop to approve a download of an application with a few mouse clicks instead of one mouse click or to approve an email showing the HTML portion or to have to keep checking spam because the filters are so draconian that if I don't check spam, I could miss an important email.
Obviously, there is a reason for firewalls and anti-virus, etc. I'm not making light of that, but, I want to keep control of my computer. I don't want someone at Microsoft to decide for me what is best like by not putting an ON/OFF switch on a spelling/grammar Editor or forcing me to disable some security settings that go too far to ruin my experience and waste my time checking over things it mistakenly keeps from me.
FYI - I have multiple computers. I'm so annoyed by Microsoft 365 and this spelling/grammar editor that I do most of my writing on an old laptop with Microsoft VISTA and an ancient legacy version of Microsoft Office and when I finish writing the documents, I upload/send them to my main computer with Microsoft 365. I do the same thing now with Microsoft Outlook emails a lot.
The next step is to install Libre Office and Linux. The constant updates and updates with bugs is so frustrating. I work from home and I do some light IT work for an HVAC company, in addition to other work I do, and in the middle of the day, sometimes, I will get a call from their office that Outlook has stopped working and I have to remote in and do the stupid Microsoft 365 update to fix Outlook.
An entire small office with several employees on a network completely disrupted in the middle of their day, several times a year. Every SMB does not have a full-time IT team managing their operations to monitor this all the time and don't tell me about telling Microsoft to do updates late at night or something. JUST STOP THE CONSTANT UPDATES!
I really hope somebody reads this and thinks about making some changes in the developer processes and decisions that are made including when they release a feature or something to make certain it works properly and that they create a simple ON/OFF switch for a new feature.
But, the conclusion I've drawn is that Microsoft does not care about individuals and SMB customers. They just do what they want without any accountability to customers and they also want more control over the person's computer to make decisions for the end user eventually probably moving to a lease/annual subscription computer model.
Just like people are now hanging on to their older cars which were simpler and more reliable, I find myself using a 10-year old copy of Microsoft Office on an ancient Microsoft Vista operating system on a Dell laptop that belongs in a museum, but, you know something, for word processing, it works just fine. SCREW ALL THE NEW FEATURES. The only real compromise is that the battery power has improved so much on newer models and I have to flip over to my loaded state of the art computer with 64GB Ram, etc. to do anything else except word processing.
the Brother MFC-L3780CDW is not on the Mopria List, either, which is my printer.
If you read my long post directed at you, Spoofy, I explained how I solved it by re-installing Windows starting with Windows 10, first.
But, if you work at Microsoft or talk to them on those developer teams, can you please pass on my concerns. Nobody ever acknowledges feedback or responds. You don't even get a confirmation email. It's like nobody cares and nobody ever does anything about it when you do post feedback.
My two issues are "Scan to PC" and the other one with MIcrosoft 365 EDITOR which has no OFF switch to turn off the spelling and grammar checker in WORD and Outlook.
If this bug is going to take a few months to resolve and you feel it is important to modernize it, then, why can't you at least post the download to the pre-24H2 update on the Microsoft site or send an update that makes it possible to roll it back until you fix the issues?
It's like nobody cares. The only download on Microsoft's site is of Windows 24H2 and most people have Windows Home, so, we don't have the Policy Editor in Windows Pro or a way to go and un-install 24H2 if it already installed on the computer and not everyone has the time or the knowledge to even do a complete Windows install from scratch and have to re-install your programs. It's so disruptive.
It's like Microsoft is working for itself and does what it wants when it wants and nobody cares about the customers. What of a small business with 5-people in an office on a small network who suddenly can't do Scan to PC for 2-3 months or indefinitely.
I have EXACTLY the same issue it seems. I have a Brother printer. Try going to Settings, printers and scanners. At the bottom is More information and on mine is has a "? Scanners not appearing"
Nouveau moderne mais ne fonctionne pas. Depuis la mise à jour, il faut 10 minutes pour scanner une page A4 avec mon scanner Brother MFC 3770CDW. Vive la modernité.
Hi I make some IPP tests with windows 11 24H2 I created an IPP printer to print only in black and White I want to create an second printer IPP with the same address to print in color by default, but when I try, an error occurs
Is it possible to create 2 IPP printers with the same address to use different configurations ?
1. On some print jobs, there is an error popup, and the job sits in error status in the queue. While it can be deleted, it might be a good idea to report the IPP error (or windows error) in the queue status so users can better track what is going on.
2. IPP authentication is not supported even when credentials are set on the (in this case HP M608) printer. Using CUPS APIs, a request to print without credentials correctly incurs a callback on the user end for credentials. Provided the credentials match, the print goes through as it should. Using the IPP Class driver, there is no dialog box ever provided for credentials (although the printer correctly sends the message for them) for the user to provide and the job just fails and sits in the queue as an error - no reason provided.
First off: Bravo! For both dropping Level 4 (which has been dead in the water for years) and switching to IPP as open standard.
Just a few head-ups from my professional self (which is making Output Management Systems for large Enterprises):
Don't neglect non-IPP protocols. There is a huge fleet of legacy printers out there, which are not easily replaced - especially in production environments.
While auto-detection of printers is a big win in small and medium environments, it is a nightmare in large and controlled environments (like pharma). Please provide a means to toggle that off by Group Policy.
Others have already asked about HPGL, ZPL etc. - can you comment on what conversion modules would be available from Microsoft as part of WPP, when it hits GA?
I was part of a project where printers served by a print server switched from classic “it just works” jet direct tcp 9100 port-based printing to IPP connected printers, because encryption. The printers served by the print server then used the generic driver. And it basically worked fine for most cases.
Two problems surfaced. A plotter device was not able to use the correct paper size. Reading through the comments this is a limitation of the driver?
The bigger problem was an application that copies a file to the print queue to print stuff. Never thought that this was possible for network printers at all, but I tried with a type 3 printer in PowerShell via “copy test.txt \\server\printershare”. And to my surprise this does work and the file is printed on the printer like a regular print job via notepad.
The same test for an IPP printer does nothing and the file is not printed at all. The copied file is not processed and nothing is printed. So, for whatever reason this “old school” “copy to printer and it prints” functionality is not working with IPP.

Over the past year, the MORSE team has been working in collaboration with the Windows Print team to modernize the Windows Print System. This new design, called Windows Protected Print, is a redesign of the Windows Print system that greatly enhances user security.
","body":"
Over the past year, the MORSE team has been working in collaboration with the Windows Print team to modernize the Windows Print System. This new design represents one of the largest changes to the Windows Print stack in more than 20 years. The goal was to build a more modern and secure print system that maximizes compatibility and puts users first. We are calling this new platform Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP). We believe users should be Secure-by-Default which is why WPP will eventually be on by default in Windows.
\n
\n
Recently, we announced our plan to end servicing for third-party drivers in Windows. Moving away from drivers has allowed us to significantly improve the print stack. This article will explain the case for adopting driverless printing, provide some insights on compatibility, and preview the security improvements provided by Windows Protected Print Mode.
\n
\n
One of the largest motivations behind the change is security. The Windows print system has been a key target for attackers. The Spooler runs with high privileges and must load code from the network which is difficult to accomplish with low friction and high security. Print bugs played a role in Stuxnet and Print Nightmare, and account for 9% of all Windows cases reported to MSRC. Securing the print stack is challenging, in large part due to the use of third-party drivers. WPP blocks all third-party drivers and implements a wide range of new security protections.
\n
\n
To put these changes in some context, MORSE did an analysis of past MSRC cases for Windows Print to assess if these changes would help. What we found is that Windows Protected Print Mode mitigated over half of those vulnerabilities.
\n
\n
Although we know some may find changing configurations inconvenient, we believe it is best for overall user security.
\n
\n
The Driver Problem
\n
The security model for print drivers relies on a shared responsibility approach where the Windows printing stack and third-party drivers must each play a role in providing functionality and enforcing security promises while avoiding introducing vulnerabilities. This is like some other subsystems in Windows, but printing is a particularly challenging scenario because both we and customers want the process to be as frictionless as possible. Balancing security, convenience and backwards compatibility with older devices is challenging. Here are some examples.
\n
\n
Print Nightmare
\n
This vulnerability was the result of an authorization bypass bug which allowed authenticated remote users to install print drivers using the RPC call RpcAddPrinterDriver and specify a driver file located in a remote location. The attacker’s chosen file was then loaded as a DLL and executed in the highly privileged Spooler process, effectively granting the attacker SYSTEM privileges.
\n
\n
Fixing this vulnerability was complicated by the fact that such a feature exists by design called Point and Print which allows for frictionless driver installation by a print server to the client. Remote servers can install drivers without an admin prompt on the client assuming the appropriate configuration (registry setting) on the client. Once a fix was in place, users of V3 drivers, often in larger environments, suddenly found themselves with Admin login prompts when trying to use their printers. Users of V4 drivers did not experience this problem. Although the V4 model was introduced in 2012, 9 years before this vulnerability in 2021, most printers still used V3 drivers. This really speaks to some of the challenges with the driver-based model.
\n
\n
Compatibility
\n
One challenge with print drivers is their age. Some print drivers are decades old and are incompatible with modern security mitigations, such as Control Flow Guard (CFG), Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CET), Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG), and the many other protections Microsoft has implemented over the years. These protections are often “all or nothing,” meaning that all participating binaries must take steps to be compatible for the protection to be effective. Since not every print manufacturer has taken the necessary steps to update these drivers, the print service does not currently benefit from these modern exploit mitigations.
\n
\n
Excessive Permissions
\n
Loading code from third parties presents several challenges from a security perspective. Not only must you ensure you’re loading the code you intended to load, that code may change the behavior of your application in unexpected ways. For example, drivers support complex parsing logic, which can lead to bugs allowing full control of the Spooler or related print process. Many users don’t understand that print drivers run as SYSTEM which is more powerful than a typical administrator account. So, bugs in drivers are extremely useful for attackers.
\n
\n
In the event a vulnerability is discovered in a driver, Microsoft is dependent on the third-party to update the driver. When publishers no longer exist or consider older products out of support, there is no clear way to address the vulnerability.
\n

IPP Basics
\n
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an HTTP-based protocol and supports many of the authentication methods one would expect from HTTP. Each IPP request is an HTTP POST message, and printers are identified using URI’s such as ipps://printer.example.com/ipp/print. IPP supports all the common operations one would expect from a printer.
\n
\n
Driverless printing supports a limited number of Printer Document Languages (PDL) based on public standards such as PWG Raster and PDF. This limits the unique number of formats the operating system must handle for conversion and greatly simplifies code. Client-side rendering is used to generate the final document sent to the printer.
\n
\n
Unlike LPR/LPD, IPP supports built-in encryption. This support is like the encryption used today when using HTTPS over the web. Access control and authentication are also part of the protocol. Although not intended as a security benefit, the IPP Driverless specifications support a small number of PDLs, limiting the amount of complex parsing required by the client. Today, drivers implement over 40 different PDL’s, which can result in vulnerabilities.

The Windows Print Team has been working to bring IPP printing to more users for some time now. Today, if you view any of our print documentation, you are presented with a notice.
\n
\n
\n
This notice is intended to encourage users to switch to IPP, when possible, and encourage industry partners to switch to IPP-based printing. There will be cases when custom functionality is needed, and vendors can extend support by creating a Print Support App (PSA). IPP Printing in Windows today works side-by-side with driver-based printing, allowing users to choose either configuration. Let’s discuss some of the components of the IPP Print system and the security advantages and disadvantages.
\n
\n
Print Support App (PSA)
\n
PSAs allow printer OEMs and IHVs to extend our existing IPP support for their specific needs. Not all printers support the same features and configuration options. PSAs allow for tailored user experiences without compromising the experience users expect.
\n
These applications take advantage of the Universal Windows Application Platform (UWP), which are more restricted than Win32 applications. Users have more control over what permissions the application can use, and management of updates is automatic through the Microsoft store. Windows will automatically install the correct PSA for users, if one exists, based on the printer’s hardware ID.
\n
\n
Point and Print
\n
Point and Print is a feature that allows users to connect to a remote printer without providing drivers, and has all necessary drivers installed on the client. Point and Print remains with IPP, but it works differently. We no longer must install drivers, but some basic configuration is required to set up the printer. This process works as follows with IPP.
\n\n
Windows client and server make a connection over RPC
\n
Both Server and Client use their inbox Microsoft IPP driver
\n
Server uses IPP to communicate with Printer
\n
PSA is installed, if available
\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Security
\n
IPP-based printing in Windows today removes the need for third-party drivers, and any third-party code installed to support printing runs within an AppContainer, limiting the risk to users. Encryption is supported for all communication, and with a limited number of PDL’s supported, parsing complexity is substantially decreased. This is a meaningful improvement over the model requiring the use of drivers.
\n
\n
However, today, IPP-based printing still runs side-by-side with driver-based Printing. Point and Print, for example, will either install a driver or install an IPP printer in the current configuration, depending on what the server requires. While this approach minimizes compatibility risk, it also greatly limits the changes we can make to improve security.
\n
\n
IPP Printing in Windows today is already a great step forward from a security perspective, and we encourage users to switch whenever possible. We also encourage administrators to prioritize this action across your fleet.
\n
\n
Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP)
\n
WPP builds on the existing IPP print stack where only Mopria certified printers are supported, and disables the ability to load third-party drivers. By doing this, we can make meaningful improvements to print security in Windows that otherwise could not happen. Our goal is to ultimately provide the most secure default configuration and provide the flexibility to revert back to legacy (driver-based) printing at any time, if users find their printer is not compatible.
\n
\n
When users enable WPP mode normal spooler operations are deferred to a new Spooler which implements the WPP improvements. Let’s look at some of those changes.
\n
\n
Limited/Secure Print Configuration
\n
In WPP, many legacy configurations are no longer valid. A common attack on Windows would abuse the fact that a printer port can be a Dynamic Link Library (DLL), and attackers would abuse this to load malicious code. Attackers would also use symbolic links to trick the Spooler into loading malicious code, and that is no longer possible. There are many legacy API’s which are updated to restrict the configuration to values that make sense only when using IPP. This will limit the opportunity for attackers to leverage the Spooler to modify files on the system.
\n
\n
Module Blocking
\n
API’s that allow module loading will be modified to prevent loading of new modules. For example, AddPrintProviderW, and other calls, would result in loading modules which may be malicious. We will also enforce a restriction that ensures that only Microsoft Signed binaries required for IPP are loaded.
\n
\n
Per-User XPS Rendering
\n
XPS rendering will run as the user instead of SYSTEM in WPP. Most print jobs in Windows today involve some XPS conversion and the process that handles this task (PrintFilterPipelineSVC) is the source of many memory corruption vulnerabilities. As with the other issues, by running this process as the user, the impact of these bugs is minimized.
\n
\n
Lower Privileges for Common Spooler tasks
\n
Removing drivers also allows us to take common tasks performed by the Spooler process and move those to a process running as the user. If these processes have memory corruption vulnerability, that impact will be limited to actions only the user can perform.
\n
The new Spooler Worker process has a new restricted token that removes many privileges such as SeTcbPrivilege, SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege and no longer runs at SYSTEM IL.
\n
\n
It does retain SeImpersonatePrivilege which is something we intend to remove in the future.
\n
\n
Binary Mitigations
\n
By removing third-party binaries, we are now able to enable many of the binary mitigations Microsoft has invested in over the years. Processes in WPP will run with many new binary mitigations. Here are some of the highlights:
\n
\n
Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CFG, CET) – Hardware based mitigation which helps to mitigate Return Oriented Programming (ROP) based attacks.
\n
Child Process Creation Disabled – Child process creation will be blocked. This prevents attackers from spawning a new process if they manage to get code execution in the Spooler.
\n
Redirection Guard – prevents many common path redirection attacks which often target the Print Spooler.
\n
Arbitrary Code Guard – prevents dynamic code generation within a process.
\n
\n
These protections make it more difficult to abuse a vulnerability once one is found.
\n
\n
Point and Print
\n
As mentioned above, Point and Print will normally allow driver loading as well as IPP printer configuration. Some users may have an environment with only IPP printers, but malicious attackers can pretend to be a printer and trick users into installing drivers. WPP prevents Point and Print from ever installing third-party drivers, mitigating this risk.
\n
\n
Better Transport Security
\n
Printers make use of a variety of transport protocols and transport encryption is not always used. Often, it is not clear to users if their traffic is encrypted, and determining this can be difficult. IPP supports strong encryption, like what is used by web browsers today. WPP will make it clear to users when their traffic is encrypted and, when possible, encourage users to enable encryption.
\n
\n
Continued Investments to Make Windows Secure by Design
\n
As you can see, moving away from driver-based printing offers many benefits to users and allows Microsoft to make many meaningful improvements to our print system. The existing driver-based system, established decades ago, depends on many third parties and Microsoft all playing their role, which has proven to be too slow for modern threats.
\n
\n
IPP-based printing is well supported, and users who switch will reduce their exposure to attacks. Users who switch to Windows Protected Print Mode will go even further in ensuring they are safe from attackers. WPP is now in Insider builds and we hope you will help us test by trying the feature and providing feedback. Users can enable the feature by following the instructions provided here.
\n
\n
This is an early release; many features are incomplete and subject to change based on feedback. For example, today we lack a UI, and many security improvements are still in progress. Over time these improvements will continue to roll out to Insider Builds as we work to improve WPP.
\n
\n
Also, Windows Protected Print Mode will qualify for the Windows Insider Preview Bounty Program, and we encourage security researchers to identify and report bugs.

Over the past year, the MORSE team has been working in collaboration with the Windows Print team to modernize the Windows Print System. This new design represents one of the largest changes to the Windows Print stack in more than 20 years. The goal was to build a more modern and secure print system that maximizes compatibility and puts users first. We are calling this new platform Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP). We believe users should be Secure-by-Default which is why WPP will eventually be on by default in Windows.
\n
\n
Recently, we announced our plan to end servicing for third-party drivers in Windows. Moving away from drivers has allowed us to significantly improve the print stack. This article will explain the case for adopting driverless printing, provide some insights on compatibility, and preview the security improvements provided by Windows Protected Print Mode.
\n
\n
One of the largest motivations behind the change is security. The Windows print system has been a key target for attackers. The Spooler runs with high privileges and must load code from the network which is difficult to accomplish with low friction and high security. Print bugs played a role in Stuxnet and Print Nightmare, and account for 9% of all Windows cases reported to MSRC. Securing the print stack is challenging, in large part due to the use of third-party drivers. WPP blocks all third-party drivers and implements a wide range of new security protections.
\n
\n
To put these changes in some context, MORSE did an analysis of past MSRC cases for Windows Print to assess if these changes would help. What we found is that Windows Protected Print Mode mitigated over half of those vulnerabilities.
\n
\n
Although we know some may find changing configurations inconvenient, we believe it is best for overall user security.
\n
\n
The Driver Problem
\n
The security model for print drivers relies on a shared responsibility approach where the Windows printing stack and third-party drivers must each play a role in providing functionality and enforcing security promises while avoiding introducing vulnerabilities. This is like some other subsystems in Windows, but printing is a particularly challenging scenario because both we and customers want the process to be as frictionless as possible. Balancing security, convenience and backwards compatibility with older devices is challenging. Here are some examples.
\n
\n
Print Nightmare
\n
This vulnerability was the result of an authorization bypass bug which allowed authenticated remote users to install print drivers using the RPC call RpcAddPrinterDriver and specify a driver file located in a remote location. The attacker’s chosen file was then loaded as a DLL and executed in the highly privileged Spooler process, effectively granting the attacker SYSTEM privileges.
\n
\n
Fixing this vulnerability was complicated by the fact that such a feature exists by design called Point and Print which allows for frictionless driver installation by a print server to the client. Remote servers can install drivers without an admin prompt on the client assuming the appropriate configuration (registry setting) on the client. Once a fix was in place, users of V3 drivers, often in larger environments, suddenly found themselves with Admin login prompts when trying to use their printers. Users of V4 drivers did not experience this problem. Although the V4 model was introduced in 2012, 9 years before this vulnerability in 2021, most printers still used V3 drivers. This really speaks to some of the challenges with the driver-based model.
\n
\n
Compatibility
\n
One challenge with print drivers is their age. Some print drivers are decades old and are incompatible with modern security mitigations, such as Control Flow Guard (CFG), Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CET), Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG), and the many other protections Microsoft has implemented over the years. These protections are often “all or nothing,” meaning that all participating binaries must take steps to be compatible for the protection to be effective. Since not every print manufacturer has taken the necessary steps to update these drivers, the print service does not currently benefit from these modern exploit mitigations.
\n
\n
Excessive Permissions
\n
Loading code from third parties presents several challenges from a security perspective. Not only must you ensure you’re loading the code you intended to load, that code may change the behavior of your application in unexpected ways. For example, drivers support complex parsing logic, which can lead to bugs allowing full control of the Spooler or related print process. Many users don’t understand that print drivers run as SYSTEM which is more powerful than a typical administrator account. So, bugs in drivers are extremely useful for attackers.
\n
\n
In the event a vulnerability is discovered in a driver, Microsoft is dependent on the third-party to update the driver. When publishers no longer exist or consider older products out of support, there is no clear way to address the vulnerability.
\n
\n
IPP Basics
\n
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an HTTP-based protocol and supports many of the authentication methods one would expect from HTTP. Each IPP request is an HTTP POST message, and printers are identified using URI’s such as ipps://printer.example.com/ipp/print. IPP supports all the common operations one would expect from a printer.
\n
\n
Driverless printing supports a limited number of Printer Document Languages (PDL) based on public standards such as PWG Raster and PDF. This limits the unique number of formats the operating system must handle for conversion and greatly simplifies code. Client-side rendering is used to generate the final document sent to the printer.
\n
\n
Unlike LPR/LPD, IPP supports built-in encryption. This support is like the encryption used today when using HTTPS over the web. Access control and authentication are also part of the protocol. Although not intended as a security benefit, the IPP Driverless specifications support a small number of PDLs, limiting the amount of complex parsing required by the client. Today, drivers implement over 40 different PDL’s, which can result in vulnerabilities.
\n

Seems that Microsoft has switched over printing to driverless-IPP-only (Mopria) but not taken care of multi-function printers with a built-in scanner. These scanners are also driverless by the standard, most using the HTTP-based eSCL protocol, some using Microsoft's WSD. Under Linux we support these protocols so both printing and scanning with multi-function devices just works. So to complete WPP generic eSCL and WSD support needs to get implemented in the operating system without need of installing a driver from the hardware manufacturer.
One workaround, but it requires working at the command line, is running Linux's scanning stack, SANE, under WSL ...

Windows has inbox eSCL support and it's existed for some time. If the device supports eSCL and is complaint with the Mopria specification it should work. So we could have a bug there.
In cases where eSCL and WSD are in play, we still have some work to do.

Hi, Spoofy,
I googled around and found your blog. It sounds more like a press release spin from Microsoft. With all due respect, perhaps, you can pass my comment on because nobody at Microsoft seems to care or listen to customer forums or Microsoft feedback forms you fill out or prioritize individual customers that are impacted by closed door tech developer sessions and decisions.
While you do explain the thought or \"why\" behind some of the changes for print protocols there still seems to be a complete disconnect in being respectful to users and manufacturers you impact when you implement changes without enough research, testing and warning. Before a new drug can be released, it has to go through intense trials and testing before it gets FDA approval and is released to the larger population.
Your 24H2 update shut down \"Scan to PC\" functionality for dozens of manufacturer models and millions of individual and business customers. Then, some source is leaking FAKE NEWS that Microsoft has issued a fix with their latest update. In my last conversation with Brother last week, their escalated tech said they have compiled a list of thousands of customers to notify them when Microsoft does issue a fix and the latest information they have is sometime in 2025. So, people that have state of the art expensive top of line printers they use in small to medium size offices can no longer scan from the PC to the computer.
The only workaround solutions given were to un-install 24H2, but, unfortunately, for most people, after a week or two, you can't un-install the update which leaves one other solution. You have to reset the PC and wipe it clean of everything and then load Windows 10, install your scanning software and drivers and then update the computer to Windows 11. You can't just download Windows 11 because the only download offered by Microsoft is for 24H2, so, you have to use the download for Windows 10, first.
DOES MICROSOFT AND THE DEVELOPERS FEEL THE PAIN FROM THAT? I spent an entire weekend going through this process on 4 computers re-installing all my software and first finding that I could not reset the PC from the Windows 11 download or I'd have 24H2 and the same problem.
24H2 has all kinds of other bugs and issues. It causes a conflict with NVDIA Broadcast detecting the camera. Some computers were fixed with NVIDIA's own update, but, many still have the problem.
Another unrelated issue I want to share with you, as well, in the hope that you can pass it on to the Microsoft team and/or someone from Microsoft actually reads your blog is about the new Editor function in Microsoft 365. Note, nobody from Microsoft tells customers anything and nobody responds to using the Microsoft feedback about the feature that is in Office. You don't even get an automated email response acknowledging that you sent Microsoft some feedback. It's like nobody cares.
This is the kind of support you'd expect from an open source application because it is FREE, but, not from being a paid customer to Microsoft. Outside of your blog, I have not seen any awareness to customers or manufacturers provided about an impending change to protocols for printers in a Windows update. Just roll it out first and see what happens and who complains!
REGARDING THE NEW EDITOR FEATURE IN MICROSOFT 365. The feature overrides all the settings in the OPTIONS to adjust spelling and grammar checking in Word documents and in Classic Outlook and the NEW Outlook. It completely renders all the manual controls and settings useless and you CAN'T TURN IT OFF. I've heard that some people in some editions may have a toggle switch to turn the Editor OFF, but, in most Microsoft 365 subscriptions, you have no toggle switch or radio box to TURN IT OFF.
Some people who are programmers are complaining about it because they are writing code and the stupid editor can't distinguish these are not mis-spelled words, etc. Some people like myself that write business documents and emails and have an excellent command of language prefer to write our own documents without this flawed Editor thinking for us.
BASIC 101 - If you build a light, you have an ON/OFF switch. If you have a car, you have an ON/OFF switch for the engine. What are the developers thinking? Who gives them feedback? Who are they accountable to? Developers who invent new features are extremely intelligent and gifted, but, often those geniuses are the very people that lack common sense in developing features for the customers they serve.
Microsoft RECALL - I shouldn't have to open Command Prompt and learn programming commands to turn RECALL - OFF. Is it my computer anymore? Do I have any say in how my computer works or what features I want to leverage? Why does Microsoft have to decide what is best for me?
I'm on a private network with a VPN. There is risk in everything one does including crossing the street or driving your car or walking up a flight of stairs. I don't want or need all these frequent and sometimes draconian security updates that interrupt and destroy my computer experience to protect me from everything. If some people are stupid to open phishing emails or visit nasty websites, should not mean that I need the same kind of protection and decisions made for me by the software where I have to stop to approve a download of an application with a few mouse clicks instead of one mouse click or to approve an email showing the HTML portion or to have to keep checking spam because the filters are so draconian that if I don't check spam, I could miss an important email.
Obviously, there is a reason for firewalls and anti-virus, etc. I'm not making light of that, but, I want to keep control of my computer. I don't want someone at Microsoft to decide for me what is best like by not putting an ON/OFF switch on a spelling/grammar Editor or forcing me to disable some security settings that go too far to ruin my experience and waste my time checking over things it mistakenly keeps from me.
FYI - I have multiple computers. I'm so annoyed by Microsoft 365 and this spelling/grammar editor that I do most of my writing on an old laptop with Microsoft VISTA and an ancient legacy version of Microsoft Office and when I finish writing the documents, I upload/send them to my main computer with Microsoft 365. I do the same thing now with Microsoft Outlook emails a lot.
The next step is to install Libre Office and Linux. The constant updates and updates with bugs is so frustrating. I work from home and I do some light IT work for an HVAC company, in addition to other work I do, and in the middle of the day, sometimes, I will get a call from their office that Outlook has stopped working and I have to remote in and do the stupid Microsoft 365 update to fix Outlook.
An entire small office with several employees on a network completely disrupted in the middle of their day, several times a year. Every SMB does not have a full-time IT team managing their operations to monitor this all the time and don't tell me about telling Microsoft to do updates late at night or something. JUST STOP THE CONSTANT UPDATES!
I really hope somebody reads this and thinks about making some changes in the developer processes and decisions that are made including when they release a feature or something to make certain it works properly and that they create a simple ON/OFF switch for a new feature.
But, the conclusion I've drawn is that Microsoft does not care about individuals and SMB customers. They just do what they want without any accountability to customers and they also want more control over the person's computer to make decisions for the end user eventually probably moving to a lease/annual subscription computer model.
Just like people are now hanging on to their older cars which were simpler and more reliable, I find myself using a 10-year old copy of Microsoft Office on an ancient Microsoft Vista operating system on a Dell laptop that belongs in a museum, but, you know something, for word processing, it works just fine. SCREW ALL THE NEW FEATURES. The only real compromise is that the battery power has improved so much on newer models and I have to flip over to my loaded state of the art computer with 64GB Ram, etc. to do anything else except word processing.
Just horrible what Windows is evolving to.
Thank You, Microsoft.

Hi, Spoofy,
the Brother MFC-L3780CDW is not on the Mopria List, either, which is my printer.
If you read my long post directed at you, Spoofy, I explained how I solved it by re-installing Windows starting with Windows 10, first.
But, if you work at Microsoft or talk to them on those developer teams, can you please pass on my concerns. Nobody ever acknowledges feedback or responds. You don't even get a confirmation email. It's like nobody cares and nobody ever does anything about it when you do post feedback.
My two issues are \"Scan to PC\" and the other one with MIcrosoft 365 EDITOR which has no OFF switch to turn off the spelling and grammar checker in WORD and Outlook.
If this bug is going to take a few months to resolve and you feel it is important to modernize it, then, why can't you at least post the download to the pre-24H2 update on the Microsoft site or send an update that makes it possible to roll it back until you fix the issues?
It's like nobody cares. The only download on Microsoft's site is of Windows 24H2 and most people have Windows Home, so, we don't have the Policy Editor in Windows Pro or a way to go and un-install 24H2 if it already installed on the computer and not everyone has the time or the knowledge to even do a complete Windows install from scratch and have to re-install your programs. It's so disruptive.
It's like Microsoft is working for itself and does what it wants when it wants and nobody cares about the customers. What of a small business with 5-people in an office on a small network who suddenly can't do Scan to PC for 2-3 months or indefinitely.

Hi I make some IPP tests with windows 11 24H2 I created an IPP printer to print only in black and White I want to create an second printer IPP with the same address to print in color by default, but when I try, an error occurs
Is it possible to create 2 IPP printers with the same address to use different configurations ?
With TCP Port, it was easy to make this
Thanks

Some findings on the IPP Class Driver:
1. On some print jobs, there is an error popup, and the job sits in error status in the queue. While it can be deleted, it might be a good idea to report the IPP error (or windows error) in the queue status so users can better track what is going on.
2. IPP authentication is not supported even when credentials are set on the (in this case HP M608) printer. Using CUPS APIs, a request to print without credentials correctly incurs a callback on the user end for credentials. Provided the credentials match, the print goes through as it should. Using the IPP Class driver, there is no dialog box ever provided for credentials (although the printer correctly sends the message for them) for the user to provide and the job just fails and sits in the queue as an error - no reason provided.

First off: Bravo! For both dropping Level 4 (which has been dead in the water for years) and switching to IPP as open standard.
Just a few head-ups from my professional self (which is making Output Management Systems for large Enterprises):
Don't neglect non-IPP protocols. There is a huge fleet of legacy printers out there, which are not easily replaced - especially in production environments.
While auto-detection of printers is a big win in small and medium environments, it is a nightmare in large and controlled environments (like pharma). Please provide a means to toggle that off by Group Policy.
Others have already asked about HPGL, ZPL etc. - can you comment on what conversion modules would be available from Microsoft as part of WPP, when it hits GA?
Thx!

Notes from the field:
I was part of a project where printers served by a print server switched from classic “it just works” jet direct tcp 9100 port-based printing to IPP connected printers, because encryption. The printers served by the print server then used the generic driver. And it basically worked fine for most cases.
Two problems surfaced. A plotter device was not able to use the correct paper size. Reading through the comments this is a limitation of the driver?
The bigger problem was an application that copies a file to the print queue to print stuff. Never thought that this was possible for network printers at all, but I tried with a type 3 printer in PowerShell via “copy test.txt \\\\server\\printershare”. And to my surprise this does work and the file is printed on the printer like a regular print job via notepad.
The same test for an IPP printer does nothing and the file is not printed at all. The copied file is not processed and nothing is printed. So, for whatever reason this “old school” “copy to printer and it prints” functionality is not working with IPP.
