UP-Printer does not show up in Windows UI

Windows 10 (19041.208), workplace-joined, does not show or allow for searching of Universal Printer printer.

The printer is successfully registered and shared. The user owns a UP license.

The options Search for printers in my organization or Search Universal Print for printers do not show up.

    There is something with the information returned by dsregcmd /status /verbose /debug

     

    The Tenant Details information is correct.

    The Work Account section shows the wrong WorkplaceTenantName.

    The executing account name is correct.

     

    The device itself and the only account used for login are from the same tenant. There was a second work account added to the Windows 10 accounts list due to a second Outlook mailbox which originates from a different tenant. That account was listed as "Work account 1". After removing that account. My primary account does not show as "work account", but as "Connected with Tenantname, using UPN-Address".

     

    After cleaning up the accounts issue, universal print and the configured printer is available.

      Yes, this option is missing.

      The user does have a Universal Print license assigned. I will remove and re-assign the license.

       

      Are there any known issues, if the user assigning the license is a Global Administrator, but not a dedicated Universal Print Administrator?

        ThomasStensitzki-MVP If the option is missing, then the license is not being applied to the user whose account is being used for the Work Place Account. The second thing to check is whether or not the user was setup to use Hybrid Cloud Print. Check to see if this registry key exists:

        Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\<SID>\EnterpriseCloudPrint

        If it does, delete the key and reboot. 

        If it is still failing, gather a Fiddler trace and check to see if there are any failures getting to 

         https://graph.print.microsoft.com. This is the address where the license is retrieved. 

  • ThomasStensitzki-MVP can you ensure all the pre-reqs mentioned in this doc have been met?

    • The Universal Print printer has been shared.
    • The user has been added to the permissions of Universal Print printer that is to be added on the device.
    • The user has been assigned the license to use Universal Print. For more information about assigning licenses, see Assign or remove licenses in the Azure Active Directory portal.
    • The user's device is workplace joined (to Azure AD).
    • The user's device is connected to internet.

    In addition to this, can you confirm if the device was ever configured for HCP? If yes, then follow the thread here:

    Thanks

    • Saurabh_Bansal The device works fine for another user in the same org, even with an older build of Windows 10 (1903).

      The system having the issue is build Windows 10 Ent 2004.

      I'll try to gather Fiddler data if Windows 10 connects to the UP licensing endpoint. 

       

      Are there any known issues, when the user is MFA enabled??

        ThomasStensitzki-MVP run dsregcmd /status /verbose /debug from an elevated command prompt on the client and check for these settings. If AzureAdPrt is no then check for WorkplaceJoined. If both are no then no license is being applied. The Fiddler trace would show us more data. If you get to that point, open a Azure support case and specify Universal Print and we can look into this further.

      Saurabh_Bansal So, when a device is Azure AD Joined, not AAD Registered, then a normal user (no admin) cannot use Universal Print? I did some testing: a test user was able to print (had the license etc.), but the printer gives an error in the printer queue. On the same testingmachine, I logged in as Azure AD domain admin, and had no problems with printing with UP.

        Harry Dubois I sent you a PM with the steps to work around this issue. If you are still unable to print, open an Azure support case for Universal Print and we can look into your issue further.
