XPSRas GPU Usage Decision Tree
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.
The following diagram shows the decision tree that Windows uses to determine whether or not to engage GPU hardware acceleration.
