   Will the Windows 11 printer-killer also

   I asked Google "Will the upgrade to Windows 11 that stops some printers   
   working, also stop them working under Windows 10 if subscribed to the   
   updates?", and its AI replied "Yes, it is possible for the same printer   
   issues impacting Windows 11 to affect Windows 10 if you are subscribed   
   to updates, although the mechanism and timing may differ. The changes,   
   starting in January 2026, primarily phase out legacy V3 and V4 printer   
   drivers via Windows Update, which affects older printer models   
   regardless of whether they are running on Windows 10 or 11."   
      
   Which I interpret it as saying it doesn't know really.   
      
   Anyone know any more?   
      
   Is my printer (Samsung CLP775ND) likely to be a V3 or V4 driver? How do   
   I find out? Should I turn off the W10 upgrades I jumped through hoops to   
   enroll for?
