Register a physical printer to the Universal Print service without a connector or a firmware ?
I am new to Universal Print and I am trying to register a physical printer / hardware with the universal print service so that the print jobs sent to the virtual queue can be printed out on a paper. ...
HimanJo as you know Universal Print is a cloud service, there needs to be a bridge between the physical printer and the cloud service. The currently available options are a firmware update from the printer manufacturer or the Universal Print connector software or a 3rd party offering.
If none of those existing options are feasible options, you can write code to be the acting proxy. For example, since you already have an application that is creating the virtual printer, that same application can fetch the print jobs and send it to the physical printer's IP address to print out.
HTH,
