Universal Print Connector registration failed
Hi all,
i also experience the same issue.
Added my user to relevant AD roles (print administrator and global administrator) already a few days ago, but cant access the ressource: error 403.
any news about this topic so far?
dnienhaus hi there, for me the issue was that the machine I was trying to use it on was not AAD joined or AAD registered with our AAD tenant (it was just my personal home PC). When I tried on a different machine that was AAD joined (work laptop) I was able to register the printer with no issues.
I did not see anything about the registration failures in the Sign-In logs for the AAD user I was using, so I can't say it was our Conditional Access policies that were blocking it (arguably, the CA policies were *not* blocking because I was able to sign in and get the register printers step).
So, if you have the bandwidth, I'd say open a case and see if you can figure out what policy in the AAD tenant is blocking registering printers on non-AAD joined/registered machines. (Although to be fair, I'm only assuming AAD registered works, as it worked for me with an AAD joined machine)
Hopefully we can figure this out!

dnienhaus, is your AzureAD user account with which you sign in to the connector app assigned a UP license?
Carlos_Capellan, thanks for chiming in! I'd be interested to know if what worked for you also works for dnienhaus so we could document it as a prerequisite. dnienhaus, please let me know.
The official connector machines prerequisites don't require the machine to be AzureAD-joined. The test machine I use for a connector is not joined to AD or AzureAD, and I'm signed in to the machine using a local user. For printer registration, the identity that matters on the connector is the one used to sign in to the app. It must be Global Admin or/and Printer Admin.
Rani_Abdellatif and Carlos_Capellan thank you for the quick responses !
i double checked all the settings and group assignments and still couldn´t see any issue.
however, now - after one week - it seems to work.
No clue why, i dont think that the changes to our tenant should take that long ?
anyway, thank you for your advices !
