Mit dem Preview Update #KB5074105 lässt Microsoft den Support für ältere Drucker, die nur V3- und V4-Druckertreiber nutzen, auslaufen. Man setzt ab Windows 11 24H2 auf IPP und #Mopria kompatible Drucker. Wenn man dann keine alten Treiber mehr hat ...

Windows 11: Microsoft setzt auf Mopia und beendet Unterstützung für Legacy-Drucker

Ich ziehe mal ein Thema in einen separaten Blog-Beitrag heraus, welches Windows 11-Nutzer mit älteren Druckern bald tangieren dürfte. Microsoft hat damit begonnen…

Alle Chromebooks unterstützen #Mopria, das scheint ein neuer Standard zu sein. Mein neuer Epson-Drucker scannt und druckt einwandfrei.

@Larvitz

sogar mit dem neuen #Mopria Standard 👍

Microsoft to Phase Out Third-Party Driver Delivery on Windows

Microsoft has announced that it will stop delivering third-party drivers through Windows Update, starting in 2025. The company aims to reinforce security by preventing the download of files from third-party sources that are not fully controlled by Microsoft. Although this change might seem drastic, it will be possible to install drivers by accessing the manufacturer's website, but under the user's responsibility. Additionally, Microsoft wants all applications offering extra user experience to be integrated into the Microsoft Store. The new policy will prioritize Mopria in 2026, and third-party drivers will no longer be updated from 2027. This change aims to encourage companies to adapt their drivers to this standard to offer a better user experience.

#Microsoftは #Windows #Updateでサードパーティのプリンタドライバをブロックする予定です 」: BLEEPINGCOMPUTER

「Microsoft は、今後 4 年間にわたる #プリンタ ドライバ 戦略の大幅かつ段階的な変更の一環として、Windows Update でのサードパーティ プリンタ ドライバの配信をブロックします。

Windows 10 21H2 のリリースにより、Windows は Microsoft #IPP クラス ドライバーを介して、ネットワークおよび USB インターフェイス経由で #Mopria 準拠のプリンター デバイスのインボックス サポートを提供します。

これにより、印刷デバイスのメーカーは独自のインストーラー、ドライバー、ユーティリティなどを提供する必要がなくなります。」

Microsoft will block 3rd-party printer drivers in Windows Update

Microsoft will block third-party printer driver delivery in Windows Update as part of a substantial and gradual shift in its printer driver strategy over the next 4 years.

Microsoft is deprecating third-party printer drivers for #Windows via Windows Update and is moving to the #Mopria standard via IPP. [1]

They published a roadmap of this plan:

End of Servicing Plan for Third-Party Printer Drivers on Windows - Windows drivers

This article provides information on the end of servicing plan for third-party printer drivers on Windows.

Nelle scorse ore Microsoft ha comunicato la fine del piano di manutenzione per i driver di terze parti delle stampanti in Windows. Da adesso in poi si punterà su #Mopria.

Windows: stampa via Mopria, stop ai driver terzi

Microsoft ha sancito la fine del supporto per i driver di terze parti per le stampanti sui sistemi Windows. Ora punta alla stampa tramite Mopria.

@mighty_orbot @njudah Which would make sense if there weren't already a feckton of other options that don't need #InternetOfShit stuff like #Mopria or just sending a #PDF via #WiFi or #Bluetooth...

Like when does someone need to print out a document remotely and not have a #VPN setup and noone onsite they could mail a link to the file on https://oshi.at or https://wsend.net and maybe even encrypt and decrypt it beforehand...

But maybe I just expect people to actually learn tech?
