This is what PrintNightmare did?

You no longer need "printer drivers", they're supposed to be automatically downloaded, installed and ran in a sandbox. You never need any "new drivers". The system will support any printer.

Except the "sandbox" was pretty weak and full of holes.

Nothing prevents you from installing only the trusted ones.
