Add the ability to queue up a print job and release it once you've walked to a printer via smartphone app or key fob if the printer supports it.

Agree with others-- releasing print jobs at the printer via PIN or other method is a must for HR & Finance & is the main thing keeping us from using UP now. Yes it is doable with third party--but it needs to be rolled into UP.
This is a great idea and would like to see more of the features coming from the cloud. Papercut has a solution, but you can't get to the finishing menu. You can only select paper size with their offering. And although Xerox has been claiming UP ready printers for almost a year, nothing is actually available yet.
It is also coming to Win10 21H2 - so no need to force the update to Win11
What’s new in Windows 11 for Universal Print - Microsoft Tech Community
"Some will see this as increased security, but we mostly think of this as functionality that will reduce paper and toner waste and offer users some privacy when printing. Print jobs will not go to waste on the printer. This capability will also come to Windows 10, version 21H2, which will be released later this year."
So only if we subscribe to Universal Print along with another third party service is a simple PIN to print Secure Job functionality possible? Is that what I'm understanding?
That is until we all migrate to Windows 11 as it's a native function there....Partners currently have solutions that run on Universal Print and support secure and follow me printing. For more information, please take a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/universal-print/fundamentals/universal-print-partner-integrations
Corey Webb do you think that PIN printing should be a basic feature that's included? There's a lot of features missing from standard Windows print server, and MS is pushing this as a replacement for that, but now forcing 3rd parties to be involved at additional costs.
Printix says that they're doing this with their SaaS integration -- https://printix.net/printix-universal-print
Any High level time line - when this feature will be released ?
Hi to all,
i think for the moment a secure pull print is only possible with a 3rd party integration/solution, because this also depends on the print devcie capabilities. If you need more details, i had some different solutions running, with MS uni print connection.
just for a hint, a lot of 3rd party systems need still their own servers for running, and there are really only a few secure cloud pull print solutions available that need no own servers/infrastructure or small clients in your network...Do we know when we could expect this. Right now, universal print can't be used by us due to the lack of this critical feature.
