Microsoft's recent update KB5050092 for Windows 11 has introduced significant printing issues for USB-connected dual-mode printers. Users may find their printers spouting random text and network commands instead of expected print jobs. This arises from a mix-up where the print spooler incorrectly sends IPP protocol messages to the printer. Although Microsoft has offered a workaround via Known Issue Rollback, a permanent solution is forthcoming in a future update, emphasizing the ongoing complications with printer drivers and protocols.
Has your printer suddenly started spouting gibberish? A faulty Windows 11 23H2 update from Microsoft - rather than a ghost in the machine - could be the cause.
According to Microsoft, the glitch can affect USB-connected dual-mode printers that support both USB Print and IPP over USB protocols.
