Actually a proven approach, which made it possible to control printers and scanners in Windows in most cases. <\/p>\n<p>The problem: The drivers must be shipped with the Windows installation image. But this leads to a `footprint' of Windows 10 becoming more and more bigger in size. At least, the Windows 10 installation image no longer fits on a DVD. <\/p>\n<h2>Standard driver only via Windows Update<\/h2>\n<p>To reduce the footprint of a Windows installation, printer and scanner drivers will no longer be shipped with the operating system. The drivers can be installed from Windows 10, version 1809, when a device is connected via Windows Update. It is important to know certain conditions.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When a system is upgraded to Windows 10, version 1809, the installed printers continue to work with the same printer driver as before.&nbsp;\n<li>If a new printer is installed and the Windows PC or print server has access to Windows Update, the correct driver is automatically downloaded and installed.&nbsp;\n<li>If a new printer is installed, but Windows Update is not available, a driver is not automatically installed. In this case, Windows will install Mopria-compatible printers without the need for an external driver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With an existing Internet connection and a known printer, Windows 10 V1809 changes little for the user. <\/p>\n<h2>Windows supports Mopria printers<\/h2>\n<p>Starting with Windows 10, version 1809, Windows now supports Mopria-compatible Wi-Fi printers. If a driver is not available, Windows can install these printers without you having to install any additional software or drivers. <\/p>\n<p>Most modern Wi-Fi printers support the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mopria_Alliance\">Mopria standard<\/a>. Consult the manufacturer's website to determine if your printer is compatible with the Mopria standard. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[German]Microsoft introduces Windows 10 Version 1809, another change in the supply of printer and scanner drivers.
