    just today I read that microsoft will stop accepting any new printer drivers. If new printers are to work, they must support mopria and IPP.

    That should eventually have positive side effects for us linux users

      If I remember correctly, the restriction is that Microsoft will no longer distribute new print drivers via Windows Update. But I agree that moving to a common standard will help everyone’s print experience immensely. Trying to deal with HPs drivers is nightmare fuel.
