MicrosoftWith some exceptions (like PDF printers), the connector supports most printers that are visible on the machine installed, including USB printers.
We also made a sneak-peek announcement about our upcoming macOS support in the recent business model blog post:
The native integration of Universal Print with macOS preview is expected in June 2023 and will empower macOS users to print from any app, just like Windows users can do today. Whether people are on Windows or macOS, they will have a seamless, no learning-curve print-experience. Organizations benefit from the simplicity of a single print solution for all users.
Apologies - I was unclear with that second question. I was asking if the connector service will stay a Windows-only thing. Easy to imagine some organizations slapping a Raspberry Pi on a dated but reliable or specialized printer, and have heard other companies pitching that capability. (Edit to clarify: Planning to port the Universal Print Connector Service to Linux or macOS?)
- Sean, at this moment, we only have plans to offer the Connector software running on Windows OS. We will continue to monitor customer feedback and feature requests. If we start to hear solid requests for the Connector software on non-Windows OS, we will revisit.
