I write about this subject because I didn’t find any help online and I think the solution might interest a person or two with Microsoft pushing to use the “Microsoft IPP Class Driver” for MOPRIA compliant printers -> End of Servicing Plan for Third-Party Printer Drivers on Windows – Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn.
- On your server, open a PowerShell with local admin privileges
- Type the following command that is generic to all Windows Server versions:
Add-PrinterDriver -Name "Microsoft IPP Class Driver"
If it doesn’t work, you can specify the INF file:
- Windows Server 2025
Add-PrinterDriver -Name "Microsoft IPP Class Driver" -InfPath "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\prnms012.inf_amd64_17bb82cc430e1f2e\prnms012.inf" - Windows Server 2022
Add-PrinterDriver -Name "Microsoft IPP Class Driver" -InfPath "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\prnms012.inf_amd64_e8c8857a2e83a9d9\prnms012.inf" - Windows Server 2019
Add-PrinterDriver -Name "Microsoft IPP Class Driver" -InfPath "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\prnms012.inf_amd64_acb6d904135c6a14\prnms012.inf"
