I am not sure whether this has been requested already, however I was wondering whether Universal Print could support AAD authentication through RFID based badges when collecting printouts from the pr...

MicrosoftRFIC / badge use for secure release with Universal Print can be thought of as 2 independent deployment architecture models.
- Existing: Printers with built-in hard drive and OEM's own badge release solution or a 3rd party badge release solution
- In this configuration, these print jobs sent to the printer are held within the printer waiting for user to identify themselves at the printer using their badge. This is available and usable today, but is dependent on the external solution.
- Planned: The additional, but separate feature this feature request is addressing is where Universal Print ready printers integrates with the native Universal Print's supported communication protocol to securely transfer information related to the user who badged in at the printer to initiate the badge release of the user's print job.
- In this configuration, the physical printers do NOT need hard drives to hold the jobs and dynamically retrieves the badged in user's print job(s) when the user is at the printer.
- The badge reader and user experience supported at the printer is defined and controlled by the printer vendor.
- As previously mentioned, we are working with different partners to support this and as you can expect, different partners have different release schedules and plans. We are only able to share that this work is currently in active co-development with partners.
