This feature brings back vector printing in Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 and Immersive IE in Windows 8 in “Out of Process” mode.  This feature will not only enhance the speed of printing but also reduce the data size input.  Initially, a mixed way to print (GDI Vector + D2D Bitmap) has been used in ActiveX Windows 8.1 and above.  Now Vector printing will be done through D2D APIs in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.  There is no difference in the Actionscript API’s.
