GPD File Entries

Important

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.

GPD files are made up of entries, using the GPD language, that describe device-specific characteristics of each raster printer. This section includes the following topics, which describe GPD file entries:
