Overview

Mission

Mopria Alliance develops standards offering a simple and seamless way to print or scan to any Mopria certified printer, multi-function printer or scanner.

What it reported doing in 2024

Product certification: the alliance continued refining its certified product program to ensure all devices (computers, tablets, smart phones) and a variety of consumer and business printers and scanners follow mopria alliance specification standards and are able to communicate and complete related tasks. Certifying that products are using mopria alliance specification standards correctly makes it easier for manufacturers to ensure their products deliver a great customer experience, as well as make it easier for consumer and business users everywhere to find and purchase products that work seamlessly. At the end of 2023, there were 8,170 certified total products of which 17 of those were servers, print accessories and middleware representing millions of new certified products created by 23 different companies across 30 brands. Subsequent modifications to the product certification program were made in order to support testing of ongoing specification updates. Software certification was added in 2023 to allow software printing solutions using mopria specification an opportunity to become certified. Volunteers in the alliance from all over the world helped revise, maintain, and direct contractors supporting this product certification program.
