- Will universal print allow the ability to segment print jobs based off department? So for an example if we had a multi organizational tenant and had 140k users we would want to be able to segment out and assign print jobs between the 10 organizations. If overages ended up occurring we would then be able to bill the appropriate sub agency.
- Also, Brandon, check in the Universal Print Azure Portal how many jobs you have that come with Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 (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.

Hi Brandon, this isn't supported directly within Universal Print but it's possible by using PowerShell. We haven't published the PowerShell script on GitHub yet, but if you PM me I can send it your way to try out.
Miguel_T1790Do 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 CenterHi 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?
- 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.
- Are there best practices for assigning a printer to certain users? Should I be using an Access Package? We'd like to designate certain printers with appropriate physical controls for printing CUI, and make those printers available to users we know handle CUI.
- Saurabh_BansalHey Ryan - thanks for asking the first question. Can you clarify what you mean by "Access Package"? In Universal Print when you share printers, you can define which users or/and security groups have access to the given printer share. Only users who have access can find/add the printer and print to it. Additionally, you can push these printers on users Windows devices using Intune.
- Hi Saurabh, I was referring to Access Packages in Entra ID- it's just a collection of bundled security groups. If printer shares can be assigned to security groups, then they can be included in an Access Package.
