2 print queues using the same printer are failing to register
carmstrong We have print queue's piggybacking the port for purposes like SAP and PIN printing. So the only difference is the PQ name.
larry900Yes, we have done that organizations creating multiple queues for same device, each PQ with different default settings and user permissions.
That kind of functionality could be extended at the cloud-endpoint side, single printer registration with multiple printer share (each with different allowed users/group, print setting configuration), but currently one print share per printer object.

If registering the same printer device multiple times, or creating multiple shares for the same registered printer (i.e. cloud printer) something you need, please create a feature request at https://aka.ms/UPIdeas.
However, please let us know what the end goal is. What scenario are you trying to enable with this behaviour?
UP is not intended to behave exactly like Windows Print Server. However, there could be different ways to accomplish the same goals, and we want to hear what those goals are.We have around 1200 SAP print queues that share the device with a different print name. Reason is so the print queue isn't tied up with SAP jobs. We would require these print queues be registered and shared in universal print. I'll submit the request.
- Rani_AbdellatifThank you!
