Thank you for the feedback, Ryan! You're absolutely right — adding native macOS support to Universal Print would make it much more practical for mixed-platform enterprises.
Microsoft is aware of this request and macOS support for Universal Print is on the official roadmap. As of December 2025, the feature is in active development and currently listed as “Rolling out” / “In preview” in the Microsoft 365 roadmap (Feature ID: 393283). Microsoft has started private preview with select customers and expects public preview in early 2026, with general availability targeted for mid-2026.
Current workarounds for macOS users (until native support arrives):
- Print Deploy + PaperCut NG/MF Works very well with Universal Print and has full macOS client support.
- Direct IP printing or local print queues Users can still print via traditional methods while Windows users benefit from Universal Print.
- Third-party Universal Print connectors that already support macOS
- YSoft SafeQ Cloud
- ezeep Blue
- Tricerat ScrewDrivers with Universal Print integration These solutions act as a bridge and already offer full macOS compatibility today.
- Web-based printing via the Universal Print portal Limited but possible: users can upload documents via portal.print.microsoft.com and release them on any Universal Print-enabled printer (useful for occasional needs).
We appreciate customers like you continuing to push for full cross-platform parity — your feedback directly influences prioritization. Once native macOS support is released, the experience will be seamless (driverless, Azure AD authenticated, pull-print just like on Windows).
We’ll keep the community updated as soon as the public preview drops. Feel free to watch/vote on the idea here: visit sitehttps://alleducationhelp.ca/
