Re: Universal Print - Usage & reports section shows as (Preview) Colour /BW & Duplex Count showing Zero
Hi Kamalakannan_V, Thanks for trying Universal Print – sorry you're not seeing accurate reporting. Often, this issue is caused by one or more printer(s) not sending data to Universal Print. Can you please message me separately and include (a) your tenant ID and (b) the printer models you've registered? I can help see if it's an issue with Universal Print or the printers. Thanks! BraedenRe: Policies for Universal Print
TobiasAhlberg "Work or School" policy: Unfortunately, no policy exists to control this. I would suggest creating a feature request at https://aka.ms/UPIdeas to track this. Location-based printer discovery: The "location services" setting needs to be enabled for location-based discovery to work. Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Location and enable these 3 toggles:Feedback opportunity: Improve the Universal Print docs

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 TeamRe: Universal Printer deploying on VMware Horizon non Persistent VDI
MSolari78 Have you already tried the troubleshooting steps in our documentation under "User is unable to discover a specific printer"? If not, that could be a great place to start. If you've already tried those steps and it's still not working, could Windows Autopilot be helpful for you? You could configure new instances to automatically Intune-enroll and kick-start the printer deployment process.Re: Local printers & universal printer connector & server delegation
StephanGee Universal Print has a feature called Delegated Administration which may do some of what you're asking for. By configuring and assigning Administrative Units you can: Allow an admin to manage printers by using a specific connector Allow an admin to manage printers in a specific location Provide a static list of printers that an admin can manage If you want to manage access to the server where you're hosting the connector, you'll need to configure that separately.New Feature: Export Printers and Shares to CSV from Azure Portal
