Using Universal Print in a custom web application (Azure app service)
We have this custom web application (SPA / API - Angular .net core) in an Azure app service. From that application, we would like to offer users print buttons to print documents stored behind the scenes in a blob storage, but also option to select multiple documents and print them in batch (~8k documents).
The printers are on premisses and we're looking at interfacing through Universal Print to reach the printers.
Is this a valid scenario / approach for Universal Print ? We are thinking of using the Graph so send the print commands.
Thanks !

sebastienricher This is absolutely a supported scenario and we encourage you to author the app with your own print button!

- Hi @Saurabh,
Cool! I was looking into this scenario and getting a few pricing comparables here and there. To get 8000 document printed (not every month, but will happen from time to time for mailings), this would bump my monthly cost to 400$ if I understand the pricing correctly ? This is unfortunately too high for my customer.
Is my understanding of the pricing scenario correct ?
Thanks !
(I'm looking at PrintNode as an alternative, the cost will be closer to 15$ a month if I'm being cautious.)- Saurabh_Bansal
sebastienricher I believe you are assuming no free capacity. There is a free capacity that comes with base offer (pooled at tenant level). You may want to refer to https://aka.ms/UP_TryNow for more details.
Thanks,
