Fault overview

In the Windows 11 22H2 environment, when the printer uses the “Microsoft IPP Class Driver” or “Universal Print Class Driver”, various functions and settings such as color settings and duplex printing settings may not be used or reflected correctly In that case, only the default settings can be used.

Therefore, protection (protection ID: 41332279) has been applied to prevent Windows 11 22H2 from being installed in Windows 10 and Windows 11 21H2 environments that use this driver.

Removing printers that use the “Microsoft IPP Class Driver” or “Universal Print Class Driver” removes this protection. Removing safeguards can take up to 48 hours.
