Momentum across the Windows on Arm ecosystem continues to build as more commercial and retail customers adopt Arm-based Windows devices for everyday work. Customers are realizing tangible benefits such as improved performance per watt, longer battery life, quieter devices, and more consistent responsiveness across native Arm64 application workflows. As adoption grows, however, success depends not only on application availability, but on the readiness of foundational systems that customers rely on regardless of device or architecture. Printing, deeply embedded in business operations, remains one of the critical workflows that must keep pace.
Microsoft’s Modern Print Strategy provides an important foundation for this transition, modernizing printing on Windows through standardized protocols, inbox class drivers, and extensible Print Support Apps. This approach aligns closely with the needs of Windows on Arm by reducing complexity and enabling consistent, secure printing across architectures. At the same time, Microsoft recognizes that many commercial customers depend on established print workflows, and that hardware partners continue to support these needs through universal and native print drivers. Together, these models enable both software developers and hardware partners to extend reliable print solutions to Windows on Arm, consistently and reliably.
Below is a snapshot of print companies that have recently delivered or expanded solutions supporting Windows on Arm, demonstrating how the modern print ecosystem is evolving to meet customer expectations as Windows devices and the workloads they power continue to modernize.
| | HP provides universal print driver solutions that streamline support across diverse HP device fleets. The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) and HP Smart Universal Print Driver (SUPD) enable consistent printing without requiring model-specific drivers.

| | PaperCut MF is an enterprise print management solution providing centralized control and security across printing, copying, and scanning. It bridges the gap when manufacturers lack native Arm drivers by supporting Windows on Arm devices with compatible clients. This enables organizations to manage mixed-architecture fleets while ensuring secure, policy-driven printing across modern Windows hardware. |
| | PaperCut Hive is a cloud-native print management solution that provides centralized control and secure printing without the need for on-prem infrastructure. Where manufacturers do not have Arm drivers, it helps ensure seamless printing across Arm64 and x64 systems. This enables organizations to confidently deploy modern Windows hardware while maintaining consistent policy enforcement across distributed fleets. |
| | Pharos Cloud is a secure, cloud-based print management platform that helps organizations reduce costs, eliminate print servers, and simplify IT operations. It enables direct IP and secure release printing from any location and streamlines management of enterprise printing across multi-vendor fleets. Pharos Cloud supports Copilot+ PCs, Windows on Arm, and Windows Protected Print using the Microsoft IPP Class Driver rather than legacy manufacturer drivers. This approach to cloud-based printing provides a supported path for enterprises introducing Arm-based Windows devices and Windows Protected Print while maintaining centralized control. |
| | RICOH Print Support Application Ricoh Print Support Application enables advanced, printer‑specific functionality for Ricoh devices on modern Windows systems by restoring vendor features on top of Microsoft’s driverless IPP printing model. The application runs on both 64‑bit Windows and Windows on Arm, supporting Windows 11 Arm64 PCs while aligning with Windows Protected Print and Microsoft’s move away from third‑party printer drivers. Organizations can use secure and authenticated printing with Ricoh printers without installing traditional device drivers. |
| | Tungsten Printix is a cloud-based, serverless print management solution designed to streamline printing across distributed and hybrid environments. With support for Windows on Arm devices through the Printix client, organizations can seamlessly manage print queues, drivers, and policies across both Arm64 and x64 Windows systems. This eliminates the need for on-premises print servers or VPN dependencies, providing robust security in a cloud-managed infrastructure with authenticated access ensuring, a reliable and efficient printing experience. |
| | Vasion Print delivers Intelligent Print Automation for commercial and enterprise organizations: modernizing print infrastructure, consolidating print environments, and automating print and document workflows across distributed Windows environments. Built on a cloud-native, serverless architecture, Vasion Print eliminates traditional print servers through centralized, direct-IP printing and automated driver deployment. Native support for Windows on Arm means organizations can manage Arm64 and x64 devices seamlessly from a single SaaS console. |
| | Universal PCL and PostScript print driver that enables consistent printing across mixed device fleets without model‑specific drivers. Xerox provides Windows 11 Arm64 versions of the Global Print Driver, allowing Windows on Arm devices to print to supported Xerox and compatible printers using a single universal driver. |
| | Xerox Print and Scan Experience App This desktop application delivers advanced print and scan features for Xerox and Lexmark devices using Microsoft’s modern IPP‑based printing model. The app includes Xerox Print Support Application (PSA), restoring device‑specific functionality when using Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver queues, and supports Windows 11 systems including Arm64 devices. This enables secure, driverless printing and scanning aligned with Windows Protected Print without relying on traditional third‑party drivers. |
| | Xerox® Workplace Cloud is a cloud‑based print management solution that centralizes printer discovery, secure release, and usage tracking across distributed environments. It provides native client support for Windows on Arm devices, with Arm‑compatible Workplace Cloud clients available for managed deployment, enabling organizations to manage printing consistently across Arm64 and x64 Windows fleets without on‑premises print servers. |
