[Printing-architecture] Congrats, Mike! IPP Everywhere is now really Everywhere!

Mike,

I want to express my congratulations as the driverless IPP printing, 
which was created by you made it also to be the exclusive standard by 
Microsoft in Windows now!

Unfortunately, Microsoft did not adopt CUPS, but as you with CUPS 3.x 
Microsoft is going all-IPP now and does away with classic printer 
drivers, by their new Windows Protected Print architecture:

So all printer communication is via driverless IPP printing, in Windows 
they are actually following Mopria but IPP Everywhere is very similar, 
so we have IPP Everywhere everywhere now ...

Support for all non-driverless printers will get dropped and Microsoft 
does not provide any legacy support for them (so the solution would be 
WSL + Printer Applications: 
https://openprinting.github.io/wsl-printer-app/).

So IPP and IPP Everwhere (driverless printing) were really successful, Mike!
