File >Print experience from 365 web apps (other than Excel)
Are there plans to bring the same File >Print experience from the Excel web app to the other 365 web apps (e.g. Word) for printing to universal print cloud printers? Choosing the print option from Excel produces a sidebar with a drop-down selector that shows every Universal printer the user has access to. There's no need to add the printer to the host OS first. In contrast, choosing File >Print from the Word web app renders a PDF and then uses the browser's native print UI to select from a choice of local-only printers. There is no option to access cloud printers unless they've first been added to the local system. On a Windows device this is merely an inconvenience but on a ChromeOS device this means the difference between being able to print and not. There is a work around available, you can use the OneDrive web client to print a Word document. The OneDrive web client does at least offer the ability to search for (and print to) any the Universal printers you have access to, and does not first require they be configured as local printer. But the UI is objectively worse than the Excel print UI which will show you your entire list of available printers. The OneDrive web client requires that you know a portion of the device name to first perform a search for it. The Word web app doesn't even give you that option, there's no option to print to a cloud printer. The Excel print UI needs to be incorporated into any/all of the 365 web apps that support printing.Automatic update of Universal Print to v2 - not working as described
Hi everyone, i got the information that we need to update to v2. So i installed Net Framework 4.8 on our "Printer Server" which is a Win2019 Server. In the documentation it says that it will update the next night but nothing it happening. It worked in May for the last update though. At the eventlog (informational) it states: Updates for Connector feature 'all features' are blocked at this hour. So just keep waiting or do i have to take any action? BR StephanGeneral availability of Universal Print in GCC/GCC High
We are excited to announce that we are bringing Universal Print to government organizations with the general availability of Universal Print in GCC/GCC High. Universal Print in GCC/GCC High aims to offer full feature parity with what exists in the commercial cloud today. To learn more, please view the announcement blog or sign up for the upcoming webinar on October 11th.
Job notifications
Hello, it would be a great improvement if it were simply possible to specify API Endpoints that would be addressed when a particular printer has new jobs to process. Alternatively, connecting a messaging protocol (XMPP, AMQP, etc.) would take the load off the endpoints and a virtual printer would only call the API when a new job is actually available for it.
