Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 90, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Printing User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Printing Description
Controls how Microsoft Edge prints on Windows. When printing to a non-PostScript printer on Windows, some print jobs need to be rasterized to print correctly. If you set this policy to 'Full' or don't configure it, Microsoft Edge performs full page rasterization if necessary. If you set this policy to 'Fast', Microsoft Edge reduces the amount of rasterization, which can decrease print job sizes and increase printing speed. Policy options mapping: * Full (0) = Full page rasterization * Fast (1) = Avoid rasterization if possible Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
