Windows Protected Print Mode: Disable to Fix Print Drivers not Installing by TCP/IP

Microsoft has made an update in Windows 11 in an update. Windows 11 version 24H2.

Windows Protected Print Mode (WPP) is a driver‑free, security‑focused printing mode in Windows that relies solely on the modern IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) stack and Mopria‑certified printers—eliminating third‑party drivers.

This eliminates the ability to use print drivers that don’t use IPP and makes TCP/IP unavailable completely. 

Microsoft as started to enable this by default on some newer PC’s.

If you have any print drivers that fail to install check here

Settings>Bluetooth and Devices>Printers and Scanners. Make sure it’s off.
