This is such a gross move from MS, that will inevitably create more e-waste, just like their dumbass TPM 2.0 requirement.
Having said that, if anyone is looking for a solution (that isn’t just switch to Linux lol), I was able to turn my ancient Canon laser (with very tricky driver setup), into a driverless airprint model by using a raspberry pi as an intermediary.
You can connect your usb/wifi printer on the pi, and through cups/ avahi, host an airprint server on your network for any devices (desktop, laptop, phone, or whatever).

I think I used this guide before: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-airprint/
now rust is in the kernel maybe a new compatibility layer for old windows drivers

Always wipe it out and throw it back on the burner for a minute, now we’ll need to re season the thing.
