Microsoft IPP Class Driveris the default printer driver installed onWindows 11, when no other printer driver is available.
IPP driver is anInternet Printing Protocolthat allows talk between computer/mobile and the printer/printer server.
you’re gonna wanna remove the current printer driver and install again.
Problem
I have an HP ENVY Photo 7800.
It printed color photos fine before the Win11 upgrade.
Added new Ink and ran a test page with the printer and all printed fine.
The Microsoft forum user then used the equipment Manager inWindows 11, to update his printer drivers.
From the list of available drivers, he chose Microsoft IPP Class Driver and installed it.
He got the message that The best drivers for your machine are already installed.
He upgraded his computer fromWindows 10to Windows 11.
Then his printer started printing in grayscale/monochrome instead of RGB colors.
Now your problem should be solved.
Replacing theMicrosoft IPP Class DriverwithHP Envy Photodriver and correct port will fix the issue.
Solution #3
Uninstall the current printer driver and reinstall.
For example, if your printer is Brother MFC-J5720DW which was installed previously in Windows 10.
When you upgrade to Win 11, it may not work immediately.
Now if you want to use the same printer or another one, you oughta uninstall the current drivers.
(which were supported for Win 10).
Sometimes this will fail to remove the current printer drivers.
you’ve got the option to try the unit Manager method or use the troubleshooter to remove it.
Then you might add the new printer inBluetooth & devices > Printers & Scanners > Add gear.
Generally most printers provide automatic install, just like the Smart App of HP.
Otherwise, you’ve got the option to install it manually.
you’ve got the option to then switch off your current printer and Windows 11 computer.
reset your PC and then start your printer.
If all drivers are installed correctly, you should be able to print easily.
Go to theBluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scannersand see the option.
Let Windows Manage my default printer.Turn the option off.
It should fix the printer driver issue in some cases.
