The Universal Print TeamAnnouncing Universal Print Announcements!
We thought it would be a good idea to add an announcements section to the Universal Print Community. While we will continue to use the Universal Print Blog to announce big milestones, as we did for the Universal Print private and public previews, sometimes we just want to give you a quick update on a new feature or a fix. So, head over to Universal Print Announcements for details on a connector update, then bookmark that space for future reference. ~ The Universal Print TeamWe have a connector update for you!
We have an updated connector for Universal Print preview and we urge everyone who is using the connector today to download the latest version and test it. The new connector offers the following: Support for receiving connector updates automatically Reliability fixes in print job processing Improved support for various printer drivers Improved support for various print job options Ability to capture and share detailed diagnostic logs If you have any questions, please post on the Discussions section: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/universal-print-discussions/bd-p/UniversalPrintDiscussions Let us know how it goes!

Announcing Universal Print in GCC High for earlier versions of Windows!
As you may recall, in October 2023, we announced that Universal Print was made generally available in GCC/GCC High. At that time, only those customers on the latest release of Windows 11 (Windows 11 version 22H2) were able to use Universal Print. However, we’ve heard from many customers on earlier versions of Windows who want to take advantage of cloud printing as well. We listened. To ensure that more government entities can benefit from the security and productivity features that Universal Print offers, we’re extending our support. Universal Print now supports Windows 10 and previous versions of Windows 11 in GCC High. Those customers can start using it today. To use Universal Print in GCC High on earlier versions of Windows, please follow the steps here to set it up! As always, we’ll keep listening to your feedback and prioritize critical features and support into our roadmap.Update! Shared printer limit increased to 2,500
To enable larger deployments during private preview, we have increased the number of printers that can be shared with users from 100 to 2,500. You can start using this additional capacity today. If you are part of the public preview, there is no action required on your end to get this added capacity — just start sharing more printers. Let us know how it goes. The Universal Print Team
