Summary:

Microsoft has unveiled the most comprehensive update to Windows printer networks in twenty years. By 2028, Microsoft will no longer support new third-party print drivers and will move to Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) in several discrete stages. Stay ahead of the curve by mastering the protocol in-depth and transitioning Microsoft printer networks with this seamless, step-by-step guide. IPPS will safeguard printer networks against dangerous security vulnerabilities such as the lack of encryption for port 9100 and LPR. Microsoft also encourages networks to enable Windows Protected Print to reduce print spooler attack vectors; learn how to accomplish this important step. This book will educate managers, administrators, and developers alike on this significant change in the Microsoft print world. Delve into why this is happening and how to prepare before Microsoft phases out third-party print drivers. The concepts covered here apply to both Windows Workstation and Windows Server. What You Will Learn Understand the updates Microsoft implemented to address security vulnerabilities and how they affect the decision to turn away from their legacy print architecture. Understand how the IPP/IPPS protocol works by building a functioning IPP/IPPS print library in C#. Show users how to trace print jobs on the network, recover data from port 9100 print jobs, and detect issues in IPP/IPPS print streams using Wireshark. Cover Microsoft’s Modern Print Initiative and adoption of IPP/IPPS, what the Microsoft IPP class driver offers, and how to integrate this into the enterprise. What a Print Support App does and how to debug one. Defend against security vulnerabilities by enabling Windows Protected Print.
