Microsoft OneNote Windows app: New “OneNote (Desktop) – Protected” virtual printer
Microsoft OneNote Windows app will introduce a new “OneNote (Desktop) – Protected” virtual printer compatible with Windows Protected Printing (WPP). It will roll out from late February to early April 2025. Admins must configure group policies to ensure installation. Existing non-IPP printers will be uninstalled with WPP on. Coming soon for Microsoft OneNote: The new OneNote (Desktop) – Protected virtual printer will roll out to all OneNote Windows desktop app users on x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) devices.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 402540.

To prevent feature issues for users of the OneNote (Desktop) printer, we’re introducing the new protected virtual printer, which is based on Microsoft’s IPP class driver and is compatible with WPP. Learn more about WPP and the Modern Print platform: Modern Print Platform – Microsoft Support Our organization has many regular users of the Print to OneNote capability using the existing OneNote (Desktop) printer. Should they expect any changes to their workflow?
