Microsoft Universal Print is a cloud-based print solution that enables simple and secure printing experiences, while reducing time and effort for IT.

Universal Print moves key Windows Server print infrastructure to the Microsoft 365 cloud. Providing robust and centralised print management capability. A single generic driver is used, irrespective of printer model, so no driver management and setup is needed. Printers are easily identified from Windows devices and users continue to print as they always have.

For IT professionals who are managing print. Universal Print offers:

  • A print solution to enable the move to the cloud and support print for Azure AD users.
  • Managed printing in zero-trust networks.
  • Eliminates the need to manage print servers or the need for complex hybrid print solutions.
  • A centralised portal that enables robust management capability.
  • Visibility and insights into your print with reporting.
  • Print data stored in the same manner as other Microsoft Office data, in accordance with Microsoft’s data management guidelines.
  • Printer deployment and default printer configuration on end-user devices using Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune).
