Windows Protected Print - Everything you know about printing is changing

Printing in Windows has seen little change over the past 25 years since the launch of the V3 printer driver model with Windows 2000. At that time, the goal was to simplify the printing process for users. Introducing "point and print" enabled the installation of printer drivers without requiring local administrator permissions. While this approach benefited users and administrators, it also created vulnerabilities that modern hackers could exploit, resulting in security issues like the "Print Nightmare" flaw. In fact, print-related cases accounted for 9% of all reports to the Microsoft Security Response Center.
Something had to change. And it has.
