Note: Using a native V4 printer driver on both the VDA and the Client is not a supported scenario. A native V4 printer driver on both the VDA and UPS is not a supported scenario. Also, using V3 printer drivers on all VDAs, UPS and Receiver for Windows endpoints continues to be a supported scenario.
