AndrewCardy Thats more or less correct. A few clarifications/suggestions though:

  1. Setup Graph change notifications to be notified for a new print job in the queue (instead of Polling)

  2. When notified about a task that is created for a new job (in paused state), get job details and download the payload

  3. Modify payload - please note that if your printer is PDF, then

    1. Job will be in PDF format already if coming from Windows versions 2004 or 20H2

    2. Jobs will be in OXPS format if coming from Windows versions 1903 or 1909. Universal Print converts OXPS to PDF after the task is marked complete and if doc conversion is enabled.

  4. Upload modified payload (has to be compatible with the printer including supported format)

  5. Either redirect or mark as complete

Hope this clarifies.

 

THanks

Thanks!
