Standard options

Important

The modern print platform is Windows' preferred means of communicating with printers. We recommend that you use Microsoft's IPP inbox class driver, along with Print Support Apps (PSA), to customize the print experience in Windows 10 and 11 for printer device development.

For more information, see Modern print platform and the Print support app design guide.

Standard options are those that are associated with standard features. They are identified by predefined names that the GPD language recognizes. Resource identifiers for strings that represent these names are contained in stdnames.gpd, which is supplied with the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

Important

This resource may not be available in some languages and countries.

The following table lists the standard option names that are permitted for each standard feature. Use these names as arguments to *Option entries. The features that include Print Schema option keywords are option names that are automatically mapped to Print Schema option keywords. You can also map GPD options to Print Schema keywords manually by using the PrintSchemaKeywordMap attribute.
