Looks to be a symptom of two dev teams that didn't collaborate and/or insufficient QA being done, but the two Windows services deployed when you install the Connector have wildly differing display names:   "Print Connector service" You'll never remember this one and the description is a really unhelpful 'Print Connector service' ; you have to Google search it to figure out what the service name for the Connector service is called when troubleshooting...   "Universal Print connector updater"  Super easy to find in the Services list because it's been named logically.    Description is poor though, just reiterating the Display name...    To fix this: Add 'Universal' in front of the 'Print Connector service' in the Display name of the main Windows service which would group the two together in the list of services and make it much easier to find. Correct the Descriptions to contain information on what the service is used for/does and not simply be the Display name again. ... View more

We are using a third-party software to produce and print certain business documents in the context of Microsoft BC. Due to particular requirements in Switzerland, we need page-level control over things like input tray selection which is solved in the third-party software by generating PostScript files with printer-specific control codes. Therefore, we don't print through the Windows printer drivers but usually talk to the printers directly (usually JetDirect/RAW or LPD/LPR protocols). In some cases we send the PostScript streams to the Windows Print spooler, bypassing the printer drivers. This works well for traditional printer drivers. However, with Microsoft Universal Print (afterwards shortened as UP), our tests have failed trying to pipe PostScript or PDF PDLs through UP. We get some unspecified error on the print queue windows for the printer. Normal printing through Windows applications works fine. So, it seems that piping through raw PDL streams to the printers is not currently supported by UP.   Please note that splitting the jobs into multiple jobs to multiple configurations for one printer is not a possible work-around in our case since there is no guarantee on the whole processing chain that the pages arrive at the printer in a predefined order. This is actually one reason why we are using a third-party software for many of our customers.   It seems that API-wise it should be possible to upload application/postscript or application/pdf through the Graph API to UP, but apparently only the internal XPS-based way seems to be supported going through the Windows priner subsystem. We have not yet attempted to use the Graph API directly to try to send application/postscript through to the printers. Maybe you could tell us whether this has a chance of working before we invest too much time here and run into another dead end. The creator of the third-party software above is willing to add a plug-in to his software to interact directly with Graph API but in order to get UP to work for us, our first attempt was to use the existing infrastructure (sending PDL streams to the spooler) which, as noted above, did not work out. ...

Currently, there is a limited list of Windows settings that can follow the user wherever they login to a Windows 10 device (if allowed by the admin) through Enterprise State Roaming. These are listed in documentation, but also below.   The ask is to add "User-selected Universal Printers" as part of the roamable settings.   Theme: desktop background, user tile, taskbar position, etc. Internet Explorer Settings: browsing history, typed URLs, favorites, etc. Passwords: Windows credential manager, including Wi-Fi profiles Language Preferences: spelling dictionary, system language settings Ease of Access: narrator, on-screen keyboard, magnifier Other Windows Settings: see Windows Settings details Microsoft Edge browser setting: Microsoft Edge favorites, reading list, and other settings ...

Hi,   like to have the option for the easiest way to let externals, mobile-users and "others" print to a UP-queue/Printer.   Some additional authentication stuff, like a Pin(set on the queue) as part of the mail subject. Definition of a sender mail domain per tenant or per print queue which is allowed to print(send mail) to the queue.   Would be greate!   Regards Sascha ... View more

Today to display a separator page between print jobs that include the user information a few conditions have to be met, and those rely on the on-premises, synchronized ID of the user.   We need this to work with native AAD IDs as the on-premises dependency is not a given and B2B invited guest users have no such relationship but may need to use the same printers. Further I would expect that printer native UP support would also have no knowledge of domain information.   Therefore a separator page setting needs to be inserted by the UP service. It could be a sperate print job with the same printer settings as the job following the separator. Of course configurable on the print queue in UP, as specialized printers do not like separator pages. ... View more

Our ERPs SAP and Oracle print over a local print server. We want to use Universal print to leverage printing over the internet without any type of VPN for a remote site. We tested printing from SAP using SAP Print Service. It only works going through a Local Printer with "Microsoft OpenXPS Class Driver" first, which prints to the UP printer. Here the diagram. Working solution. However, we also use Oracle ERP and the print job is sent by a linux server. I tested it, but I was not successful. Same as above but printing directly to CanonForSap printer. I believe this is a key requirement for us to fully leverage this super cool new feature. Please consider this. I also opened a case REG:120060224004056. ... View more

It would be great to have some way to filter the list of available printers that are presented to the user.  This way users at one site couldn't accidentally add and print jobs to another site.  Our current print management solution uses subnet filtering to present only the printers available at a site to that site's users. ...
