IT tutorials should be fun like this. Great show guys!

[anthonydepalma]

Thank You so much for this video it helped me tremendously. Also if I may Thank You for all the content you guy's put out, so many of your videos have helped me.

Some Lexmark printers work with a Firmware update... It's pretty cool when you don't have to use the connector... eliminates that point of failure

[EskimoRuler]

Great stuff guys! Definitely seems like a good enough solution for sites with limited infrastructure.

[matthewdillon]

Looks like this is part of the E3/E5 licensing now. Just set it up. Awesome stuff.

[denims]

Thanks for the great vid as always! Here's to hoping this feature becomes more like a native version of Printix!

Thank you for this video. I have some questions. How are the print jobs kept secure if you are using a print connector software installed on a desktop or laptop in the office? Are the print jobs encrypted until the reach the printer? Also, with Universal Printing, can you enforce a policy from Microsoft Azure or Microsoft Endpoint that requires a PIN before 'each' print job is released by the printer?

[martincayer]

Thank you guys! Always enjoy your videos. Very helpful.

[YTisverycool]

Thank you very much for your sharing. We are very interested in using Universal Print. I do have a question. If we would like to implement Universal Print in our current environment (multiple offices with print server in each office), we would need to convert our Printer Servers to Print Connectors? i.e. setup Print Connectors on our Print Servers? Thank you.

I haven't had to set an assignment as active or only give temporary access to a role before. Curious, where is the setting to enable that functionality?

[wouterleeuwerck]

Is there any way to enable printing only when they are on premise? School environment that starts with BYOD but also still has AD.

[AlphaH]

Do we have any alerting mechanism in UP where it triggers email when out of paper, paper jams etc?

[AdrianHiggins]

Universal print using a kiosk local account on intune is this possible with our auth ?

[sterricklind]

Does any know why I am receiving this error are what it means? I am trying to remove a Universal Printer Connector that I was using for testing and I am getting this error when it asks me to log in from the Powershell prompt AADSTS7000112: Application Print PS Module) is disabled

[alass]

Interesting your video, but I have a problem in my organization, I am an administrator but I gave a technician the right to (print technician) to install Universal print and proceed with the configuration but he receives an error message during installation (you have not gathered the prerequisites to install this program), so is the right printer technician sufficient?

[czmiccommando]

Does the account used with connector need an E5 license or just the user doing the printing. I'm thinking it would be better to install that connector as a service account

[michaelvandensteen]

Thanks for the video. So the device with the connector needs to be online whole the time? We're using print servers (ethernet to usb) to print to canon copiers. I assume it isn't possible to use universal print in our case?

[alexmart]

love your training style - Thank you - I would love to join your Team meetings

[IvanRosaT]

Superb!! I have always been wondering about this az service, but because of it's licen$ing i turned down the idea, however you guys came through excellent!😃

On that note, now that I'm looking at this, it looks like M$ is trying to copycat a 10y/o service (Google cloud Print) which most printers already have this option built in and if it does then you doing need a PC to run the proxy (free co$t)

Also for people that have HP printers they do have a "universal" feature that i have manage to create some code around it and make it available as an app in intune, so as long they are on vpn they can print to work, I'm happy to share the code *if you trust

Lastly on same idea, they are few projects to utilize a raspberry(as oppose having a whole pc) to do this proxy connection with some simple phyton code

[GirthBrooks]

I have a good feeling Ben already watched traffic when doing the print jobs. I've already browsed the Graph docs for universal print but I haven't set it up in my tenant yet. I'm interested to see those requests.
