Endpoint DLP Required: Print and screenshot monitoring requires an endpoint DLP agent. The agent hooks into the OS print subsystem and screen capture APIs to monitor these operations.

Printable Sensitive Document

The content below contains sensitive test data. Use Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P) to attempt printing this page. Your endpoint DLP should detect the print operation and the sensitive content.

Print & Screenshot DLP Tests

Print to Physical Printer

Attempt to print to a physical printer. DLP should detect sensitive content in the print job and create an incident or block.

Print to PDF

Use "Save as PDF" or "Microsoft Print to PDF". DLP should detect this as a data exfiltration vector.

Screen Capture

Try PrtSc, Snipping Tool, or third-party screenshot tools. Endpoint DLP can detect and block screen captures.

Virtual Printer

Test with virtual printers like OneNote, XPS Writer. DLP should treat these the same as physical printers.
