Hi All,

There is a way to add a Universal Print Printer to a Windows Server? As far as I know, only windows 10 and 11 support it but not clear to me if is supported in last window server version too.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Universal Print is a multi-tenant print solution service hosted on Azure. For organizations that are committed to Microsoft 365 cloud, it replaces the Windows Server print server functionality. But you can install the connector and can run on a Windows Server. Windows Server 2016 or later is required. : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/universal-print/fundamentals/universal-print-connector-installation.

First of all, Many thanks @Limitless Technology for your Quick answer.

I Think that I didn´t add enough info in my last post. Let me explain the layout:

I have Universal print working fine in PoC using printers which support universal print directly without Print Connector -printers support UP by firmware-

These printers are connecting to network A and computers are connecting to network B without any NAT or VPN between networks and all Works perfectly.

Now I have a Windows server in network C that runs a server app that needs to send print jobs to printers located on network A. Network C cannot runs a VPN or NAT to network A.

it´s means if I Install print connector on server Running on network C, this server would be send print jobs to printers located on network A using Print connector? I was convinced that Print connector was created to support old printers without UP support by firmware but I believed that you needed network connection between printer and Print connector on server.
