Maybe I am missing something, but how does UP work for network printers at different facilities. We have multiple locations on an ELAN with their own IP for the sites. We have few print servers that serve all locations. Is there a benefit using UP? I understand that some printers will have the UP option available, but for those network printers that don't, will they still need to ride on the server that uses a connector? A handful of printers are local to a user so I understand that the PC will need a connector, but what about community printers?

I’ll attempt to answer.
How does UP work for network printers?
With UP, both printers and client PCs are connected to the UP cloud service. Any PC can access any printer in the organization (based on permissions the admin assigns) regardless of whether the PC can connect to a printer on the ELAN. Therefore, UP works in a Zero Trust Network.
Is there a benefit using UP?
There are many factors you could consider that may help you decide whether there’s benefit to using UP in your environment, including:
The list goes on and it will continue to grow as we work on enabling more usage scenarios and adding features. I recommend that you do a quick test and see if it will be beneficial for your organization. You can find documentation at http://aka.ms/UPDocs.
I hope this is helpful.
