HP LaserJet M2727 MFP - Software Technical Reference

In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that, starting with Windows 2000
and continuing with all future operating systems, printer drivers would run as user-mode processes.
User-mode drivers run in a protected part of the operating system, as do all of the normal end-user
processes and software programs. A user-mode printer driver that functions incorrectly can terminate
(or “crash”) only the process in which it is running—not the whole operating system. Because access
to critical system resources is restricted, overall operating system stability is increased.
