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.

The GPD language defines a unique command name for each common printer command. Additionally, it defines the CmdSelect command name for specifying commands used for selecting printer options.

The following topics list all of the defined command names:

General Printing Commands

Printer Configuration Commands
