Microsoft ends Windows Update driver installs

In the coming years, printer and MFP makers may no longer distribute their print drivers via the Windows Update function

  • Instead will use the default Microsoft IPP Class Driver using Mopria platform
  • Mopria Alliance members include Konica Minolta, Xerox, Canon, HP, etc.
  • Currently more than 6000 models support the new standard
  • Timeline of new policy:
    • 2025 = may not publish new printer drivers to Windows Update
    • 2026 = Microsoft modifies ranking order to new platform
    • 2027 = 3rd party printer drivers may no longer use Windows Update
