Universal Print not loading the correct drivers

We have successfully installed the Universal Print and have successfully connected the main print Queue that we need to deploy. It was created on our Print Server with the correct Drivers from Sharp...

jerebrow Since Windows 10 October 2018 release, Windows natively supports the Mopria printing standard, which minimizes the need to worry about which printer driver to use or managing the correct driver version. Universal Print leverages this same concept so on the client device, you don't need to worry about which printer driver to install.

The OS built-in Microsoft Universal Print driver is the correct one.

Are there specific print options that you need which are missing?

Yeah, i'm not saying it doesn't work, but the Sharp Driver allows all of the features that we're used to using on all of our 65 MFP's. The interface Sharp uses allows for better control of the MFP. Jimmy_Wu

jerebrow Thanks for your understanding. Universal Print is designed to support both Windows 10 and Windows 10X, as well as non-Windows OS devices. We continue to investigate how to best support custom printer driver features and enabling printer manufacturers to provide these customization functionality.
