MicrosoftDo the Admin receive any alert or email notification when the print job usage has exceeded the monthly limit? beside the yellow banner in the UP Admin Center
Hi Miguel, I added this to Brandon's question about tracking overage per department and will add it here also: check in the Universal Print Azure Portal how many jobs you have that come with Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, or G3/G5 (if you have these). Each license comes with 100 jobs per month pooled at the tenant level. This might be sufficient for your org and if so, you don't have to track overage. More details are here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/universal-print/fundamentals/universal-print-license. Helps? Thanks.
- Miguel_T1790Thanks for both replies. So following the main question, what happens when the Print Job quota has exceeded from the end user perspective? will they receive any error when they try to print a new job?
- The end users will continue to print since print is sometimes business critical. However, the Admin sees the overage in the Universal Print Azure portal. We recommend that admins to see the number of jobs they have and purchase add-ons if needed. There is information on the add-ons in the licensing page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/universal-print/fundamentals/universal-print-license. As Braeden mentioned, it's in our backlog to simplify this. With100 jobs per Microsoft E3 and E5, most orgs don't need extra capacity add-ons. Jobs don't include copies and independent of number of pages. E.g., if someone printed 10 copies of a 2 page document, the 20 page printout is counted as 1 job.
- Braeden_Petruk_MSFTHi Miguel, currently there's no alert when you're approaching or have exceeded the print job usage limit. It's on our backlog, and if you could create an idea at https://aka.ms/UPIdeas it would help us prioritize that feature.
