The Risk of Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP)
Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP) is the most significant printing reform in 20 years. In short, WPP is a security-enhancing printing update for Windows that requires lower privileges and eliminates the need for third-party drivers. Removing third-party drivers from the equation removes security risks that can and have led to cyber criminals gaining system-level access.
Transitioning to WPP is an all-or-nothing setting within Windows. Once enabled, all existing print queues and drivers are removed, and print queues have to be reconfigured from scratch. There’s no undo (CTRL+Z) to reverse this change! WPP moves all printers to the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) standard, removing the need for third-party drivers entirely.
Before enabling WPP, it is crucial to research its compatibility with your device: numerous devices and finishing options may be rendered inoperable if enabling WPP too early.
