    Microsoft has clarified its stance on Windows 11’s printer driver policy, assuring users that support for legacy printers is not being discontinued. While there were concerns that older printers might lose functionality, Microsoft emphasized that if a printer is working now, it will continue to work on Windows 11. However, printer manufacturers will face new restrictions in issuing updates or creating new drivers for older models. This shift aims to streamline driver compatibility and improve overall security, but it may mean that older printers won’t receive updated drivers in the future. Despite these changes, Microsoft’s clarification reassures users that their current printers will remain functional as long as they’re properly set up.
