We are supposed to live in a world where we are using less and less paper, but the truth is there will also be a need for using physical media, even for printing digital documents and photos. In a new post on the official Windows 8 blog, Microsoft goes over some of the new printing features and improvements it has put into the OS.
The post states that the printer drivers in Windows 8 are actually the fourth major printer driver revision in Windows history. The previous version was used in Windows 2000 to Windows 7. Microsoft states, "The v4 architecture produces smaller, faster printer drivers, and it supports the idea of a print class driver framework--a system that allows people to install their printers without having to locate a driver for that device, in many cases."
