Azure as a Print Server
Is there a way to setup Azure as a print server without a physical server onsite?
Would also like to push through installation through GPO and possibly by location
I would hope that Microsoft would add printer settings to the AzureAD/Intune features, but it doesn't appear possible yet (without on prem)

Thank you very much..........looks promising......will try.
rumorhasitsf Id assume the answer is no unless the managed print companies have printers capable of modern authentication and app registration.
Till then, you'd need a thirdparty service and some form of jump box be it a server or the like.
Please read below. You might be interested.

The reply above does not address the OP question at all (no matter how many times, in how many forums and discussions it's repeatedly linked, it still doesn't answer this repeatedly asked question at all.)
Dav's reply link above, is for a hybrid environment (requiring an on-premise print server, which is NOT what is desired by most asking this question). The OP expressly indicates no on-premise AD/print server. Need a solution for printing to in-office printers DIRECTLY from Azure AD, having "no on-premise Windows server" used at all.
Even if we can just push the driver and a weblink (for instance HP's Web printing link) to the PC via AzureAD/Intune MDM, etc, that'd be a helpful step.
Were you ever able to solve this ? I am trying to solve the same issue. I want to be able to use Azure Cloud for all my services without any on premise infrastructure other than a printer.ChrisTexan
