Any update on this? would be nice if something call *universal print* was universal.

is it known whether microsoft is working on this idea of making mobile printing available for iOS and Android?

I'm not finding that the mobile browser option is working for me.
I'm definitely hoping for an integration into AirPrint of some sort, since IIRC that's all IPP under the hood.

Thanks MickaelLap for confirming and the quick response. I agree that being limited to the browser is not ideal nor the best user experience. It also means updating existing conditional access rules to permit Edge browser (if this is something you are currently blocking/controlling). More importantly though, this 5 jobs per user per month limitation is a real show-stopper (despite the ability to pool or buy add-ons). Hoping Microsoft reconsiders these limitations (similar to how it's changed other licenses as a result of dismal adoption). Cheers.

FrankBastone I also did this test on IOS and it is working as AndreasAsander said. I would add the following:
- You must use the Web version of OneDrive (in Edge Browser) not the Native Mobile App
- On a mobile device, this is not a great User Experience (but it work)
This is not a solution we can consider for our business users. Still waiting (hoping) for this feature to be integrated natively within the O365 Mobile App Suite.

Thanks AndreasAsander. Did you mean installing the the "Office" App (as you mentioned Edge)? Can anyone from Microsoft confirm this please (ie able to print to any available universal print via IOS/MAC/Android?

Printing for Non Corporate ( IOS, Android, Windows, Linux ) BYOD devices would help position outside the corporate environment. i.e Libraries, SMB Market
Specially if users printing payments could be securely managed via an App.

Printing from mobile/table is possible through OneDrive in the Microsoft Edge app.
- Install the Microsoft Edge app
- Surf to your OneDrive
- Select a document
- Select Print
- Now you can choose to print any printer you have access to in Universal Print without having to install it on your device.
Verified on iOS and Mac but I expect it to work just as well on Android and iPadOS.

Up, this is something we're looking forward to.

Satya says "mobile first / cloud first". Stop going part-way. Make it happen... HP has done it for about 10 years

HP has done what exactly?
