Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Printers Description
Determines whether communication with printers using the Microsoft IPP Class Driver must use IPPS (which uses TLS for secure communication). If you enable this policy setting, then only IPP printers which support IPPS can be installed. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the default is to allow installation of IPP printers which do not support IPPS.
