Universal Print to use another connector?

Question

Hi

I've created another Universal Print Connector, I can see see both the existing one and the new one fine.

Is there a way to move the register printers from one connector to another connector?

The old one will be removed, so there is only one.

Is it a case of unregistering the printers from the existing one, and reregister them on the new one?

Thanks
Dave

Answer 1

To move printers from one Universal Print Connector to another, you'll need to unregister them from the old connector and then register them with the new one.

Open the Universal Print Connector application on the server with the old connector

Select the printers you like to move.

Click "Unregister" for each printer.

Now open Universal Print Connector application on the server with the new connector

Click "Register new printer".

Select the printers you want to register.

Check Azure Portal or Microsoft 365 Admin Center to ensure the printers are now associated with the new connector.

Remove the old connector.

Answer 2

Hello,

Yes, I believe we need to unregister the printer from Universal Print in the Azure Portal, then unregister the connector using the PowerShell Remove-UPConnector. After that, we can proceed with the process to re-register the printer with the new connector.
