macOS Public Preview - Update #1
Thanks to all of you who have tried Universal Print's macOS support, which is now in Public Preview! If you haven't tried it out yet, it's easy to get started 🙂 Hundreds of customers have started using it and are sharing awesome feedback about how it's helping unify printing for all users on all their devices. Additionally, all your great feedback so far has been helping us chart a path forward. I want to share some common issues we've identified, and our short-term bug fix & feature roadmap: Known Issues Installing the new Universal Print Mac App could fail if the user selects an incompatible directory during setup (Issue #3 and Issue #4) Some printers don't work properly with the Public Preview. If you're having issues, check the list to see if one of your printers is affected. Users need to be system administrators, by default, to install printers. We're working on recommendations for tailoring this behavior to your needs. If you're encountering other issues, try the troubleshooting steps we recently published, which should help with the most common issues we've been seeing. If those don't work, please reach out to support. Roadmap Fixes are in progress for Issues #2, #3, and #4. I'll provide another update in a week or two about our progress here. Many of you want to deploy specific printers to Macs using MDM. We're looking into possible solutions here. Please continue sharing your ideas and feedback while we work on this feature! We're completing the required certification steps and stabilizing the feature for general availability. We're on track for a June GA date. iOS support, in addition to macOS, is a very common feature request. We're not ready to announce support for this, but we're actively looking into it. Please keep adding your votes to the related feature request! Thanks! Braeden & the Universal Print Team
