Mopria is a universal printing and scanning standard developed by the Mopria Alliance. Supported by major printer brands, including Brother, Canon, Epson, HP, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Xerox, and more.

Whether you're printing at home, in the office, or on the go, Mopria simplifies and unifies printing and scanning with cross-platform solutions that work, regardless of device or brand.

Why Mopria Matters

For enterprises, Mopria simplifies printing and scanning across mixed-brand environments, reducing IT support needs and improving workflow efficiency.

For consumers, it offers effortless, driverless printing and scanning from their favorite devices—no setup or additional software required.

Mopria: Cross-Platform Compatibility

Mopria print technology powers printing on more than 5 billion Android devices through the Mopria Print Service and the Android Default Print Service, which utilizes Mopria's unified print standard.

Windows protected print mode (WPP) supports Mopria print technology and requires a Mopria certified printer. When installing a new printer and the manufacturer’s printer driver is unavailable on Windows Update, Windows will automatically install the Mopria certified printers. This eliminates the need to install additional software or drivers, allowing easy printing regardless of the printer’s brand.
