A WEBPNP file is a specific type of file that has a particular format and purpose. The WEBPNP file extension signifies a Web Point-and-Print file, specific to web-based printing activities.
Web Point-and-Print files are typically associated with Microsoft's Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). The IPP is an internet-based protocol that facilitates the communication between printers and client devices over a network. To view or use these files, one merely needs to access a web browser. This makes it an incredibly convenient method of printing, as the need to install proprietary drivers is eliminated. For more information, see Microsoft Tech Community.
WEBPNP files can be accessed through several software applications. However, as mentioned, the most commonplace to open these files are web browsers. These include popular options such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. If you encounter problems opening a WEBPNP file, you may need to install specific browser extensions.

Web Point-and-Print also plays a crucial role in web networking, especially in organisations that deal with vast amounts of printing. WEBPNP files ease the process of managing printers across multiple devices and networks. This feature is valuable for IT professionals as it simplifies printer management.

While WEBPNP files are incredibly useful, they are seldom used outside the realm of advanced network printing. Unless your work or enterprise specifically deals with extensive network printing tasks, you're unlikely to encounter these files. They are unique files with a dedicated function and not a general-purpose file type. Any misuse or erroneous handling of these files can lead to unexpected results or system issues. Thus, care must be taken when navigating files of this nature.

- %SystemRoot%\system32\wpnpinst.exe %1
- C:\Windows\system32\wpnpinst.exe %1
