Create folders that are security and managerial boundaries. For example: In the Azure console I want administrative users in Texas to be able to see only Printers in Texas.  When I assign an administrative role I want that role to apply to only administrators in Texas. This will make the console much faster as you do not have to look at all the printer in the organization. It will also work well to decentralize the administration of printers. ... View more

We are running a large organization with branches sparse across the world.  We're currently exploring Universal Print adoption however we noticed the vast majority of printers in our possess are not UP capable. As a consequence of our findings we are therefore forced in deploying Universal Print Connectors we're hosting in Azure VMs  however it's a little bit inconvenient and not completely in line with the SaaS nature of Universal Print as we need to make redundant these VMs as when they go down ,for maintenance or any other reasons, UP services are not available to end-users. I think we could make these UP connectors redundant having at least two UP VMS running behind a load balancer however I was wondering whether it could make sense and if it is possible to rely on VM scale-sets autoscaling according to metrics. If possible it will be a step ahead in automating UP services in a more close to a set and forget it approach. Grateful for your kind feedback      ... View more

In all of the schools we migrate to the cloud in New Zealand, the print solutions are some of the most problematic - particularly when schools use a range of devices - including Macs.   The concept of a universal cloud based print solution such as Microsoft are suggesting needs to be fully inclusive across devices and operating systems.  ...

Enterprises small and large support and use printers that include advanced functionality: Scan, collate, staple, etc. and expect to maintain that functionality if they're considering moving to Universal Print. UP should support most (not necessarily all) complex and advanced functions found in most organizations.

We have over 1K print queues for SAP.  These print queues use the same port to piggyback on the same device that users print to.  The only difference is the print name has SAP in it.  We would need to register these SAP print queues and share them.  We also have (not very many) PIN printing print queues.  Same scenario as SAP.  The queue is locked to PIN only printing.  So there scenarios of 3 print names (all different) piggybacking on the same port / device.  ...

If someone is using one of the online Office 365 applications, it would be great if you could print directly to a universal print queue that is accessible by that user in the tenant.   This would make it much easier to print from the online applications, rather than having to download the file and print it from the fat client, or downloading a PDF file and going through an additional operation to print it. This also enables a printing experience from ChromeOS or Linux devices, as well, at least for Office documents.   I would think this would extend to the mobile apps, as well, but I think there is already a suggestion for that. ...

My organization has 100 small offices throughout the country that we would like to deploy universal print to. We have a routing device in these offices that supports containers. In an ideal world we'd be able to install the universal print connector in a container housed on the routing device to enable all of the office to use their existing printers via universal print. ...

I would like to request a feature for Secure Release where print jobs will go to a central queue and can then be released to any printer that has Secure Release enabled. Kind of follow me printing. That would be super awesome if one has not to decide to what printer the print job will go, but the print job will be assigned to the printer when the corresponding QR code on the printer is scanned and not when sending out the print job. Of course this means there would be a central queue that has to be assigned to endpoints beforehand. ... View more

As many people go digital for their personal administration or (school) work, more and more households don't have a printer at home anymore. This trend generates more demand for occasional public printing, for example in public libraries, coffee shops, supermarkets, ... . Universal Print could be the ideal technology for public printers in these locations.   OneDrive\PublicPrint would be the place where your documents for printing are stored. You could upload them to your OneDrive manually, use the Public Print button in Office 365 apps like Word, or upload them on print.microsoft.com without any license. This is your personal print queue. You walk to a public printer. Scan the QR code on the machine with the Microsoft Public Print or OneDrive app on your phone. Select the file(s) you want to print. Pay for your print job. e.g. with your credit card, Google/Apple pay or with prepaid print credits on your Microsoft account. The owner of the printer can choose the pricing, which is shown in the app. Microsoft collects the money and pays the owner every month (or gives a credit on their invoice). Microsoft gets a % on the Public Print revenue. I'm really excited about a Public Print functionality based on Universal Print! What do you think? ... View more

While universal print is good to be used within a single organization, large organizations might use different tenants for different parts of the organization. It is desirable to enable printing from multiple tenants. When organizations have a larger demand to host guests (e.g. external employees, hotel guests, public institutions) which should be enabled to print from their own device, a "public" printing feature would also be good to have. ...

We are currently unable to utilize Universal Print in our environment due to having the multiple AAD accounts logged in to our machines. An issue that cannot be resolved in a quick manor. Due to the nature of Universal Print, I feel a stand-alone application or app should be created to help alleviate these types of issues. Having an application we can deploy into our end users that they can easily open and login with their Azure/O365 tenant account that our Universal Print, printers, are set up in to prevent the operating system level clash of the multiple AAD accounts. ...
