    Hi LOB BOUTIOT Louis,

    Thanks for your post. Generally speaking, the Generic Printer Description (GPD) file formats are unchanged with v4 printer drivers. Existing GPD files are compatible, however, all v4 printer drivers must additionally specify the following directives in their GPD file. These directives prevent the expression of features that are not natively supported by XPSDrv, such as N-up.

    Expand table

    File type: GPD

    Required directive: *Include

    Required value: msxpsinc.gpd

    Reference. V4 Printer Driver Configuration Architecture - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
