This Connector isn't needed, though, when organizations have the new Universal Print-ready printers. It also offers Windows Universal Print Connector software as an alternative solution for use with older printers. Microsoft has in the past recommended buying new printers designed with Universal Print support as the best approach. Microsoft lists those partners, from Brother to YSoft, in this "Partner Integrations" document. Multiple printer hardware partners already support Universal Print in their new products to one degree or another. The Universal Print service uses the Internet Print Protocol (IPP) standard from the Printer Working Group and so no device-specific print drivers need to be installed, updated or maintained. End users can print from anywhere, and can easily discover the nearest print device without much trouble.įor IT departments, Universal Print frees them from having to manage Windows Server print servers on-premises. It's a multitentant Microsoft Azure cloud-based print service with perks for both end users and IT departments. Universal Print had been at the preview stage last year.
Microsoft announced on Tuesday that its Universal Print service is now commercially released at the "general availability" stage worldwide.
