Printer Driver Testing and Debugging

Important

The modern print platform is Windows' preferred means of communicating with printers. We recommend that you use Microsoft's IPP inbox class driver, along with Print Support Apps (PSA), to customize the print experience in Windows 10 and 11 for printer device development.

For more information, see Modern print platform and the Print support app design guide.

Debugging Printer Drivers and Spooler Components presents information of use to developers of printer drivers and spooler components.

Testing Local Printer Connectivity explains how to test whether a printer that is locally connected is installed and functioning correctly.
