Free Fleet Compatibility Audit

Is your printer fleet ready for 2027?

Microsoft is changing how Windows prints. A new driverless system — Windows Protected Print Mode — becomes the default in 2027, and printers running older third-party drivers may lose features or stop working entirely.

We'll check every printer you run, free, and tell you exactly where you stand. No obligation, no sales pressure.

…and we actually pick up the phone.

We use your information only to prepare your audit. No lists, no spam — ever.

What's Changing

Windows Protected Print Mode, in plain English

For years, every printer needed its own driver software installed on Windows. Microsoft is replacing that with one built-in, more secure printing system. It's better in the long run — but it only works with printers built to the newer standard.

More secure by design

Third-party print drivers have been a common target for attacks. WPP removes them from the equation.

Not every printer qualifies

Printers must support the newer Mopria standard. Many older or budget models don't — and won't be updated.

You have time — if you start

Planning now means replacing on your budget cycle instead of scrambling when something quits.

The Timeline

There's time to plan — but the window is now.

Now
Available, off by default
WPP exists today and admins can enable it manually. Most fleets haven't yet.
2026
Windows shifts gears
Windows begins favoring its own built-in print driver over older third-party ones.
2027
On by default
WPP becomes the default. Printers on legacy drivers may lose features — or stop working.

What You Get

A clear picture of your fleet — in four steps

01

We inventory your fleet

Every printer, copier, and MFP — make, model, age, and how it's connected.

02

We check compatibility

Each device is checked against the WPP standard and flagged ready, limited, or at risk.

03

You get a written report

A plain-language summary you can hand to your leadership or your IT team.

04

We build a timeline with you

A replacement plan that fits your budget cycle — not a forced upgrade.

"Your printer shouldn't take PTO. Neither should your technology partner."

— we treat every client like a neighbor, not a ticket number.

Common Questions

Straight answers

Is this really free?

Yes. The audit costs nothing and carries no obligation. If your fleet is fine, we'll tell you that and you'll have it in writing.

Do I have to be an Allied customer?

No. We audit fleets we didn't sell, including mixed-brand environments.

Will I have to replace everything?

Almost certainly not. Most fleets have a handful of at-risk devices. We'll show you which ones and help you phase them out over time.

How long does it take?

Most audits are done within a week of our first conversation. Larger fleets take a little longer.

What if I'm not in Idaho?

We serve Idaho, Eastern Oregon, and Utah from five offices. Reach out and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
