Create printJob for a printerShare

Article
09/27/2023

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new printJob for a printerShare.

Also creates a new printDocument associated with the printJob.

Note: A user can submit up to ~10000 print jobs in 10 days.

This API is supported in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

In addition to the following permissions, the user or app's tenant must have an active Universal Print subscription and have a permission that grants Get printerShare access.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	PrintJob.ReadWriteBasic, PrintJob.ReadWrite, PrintJob.ReadWriteBasic.All, PrintJob.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not Supported.
Application	Not Supported.

HTTP request

POST /print/shares/{printerShareId}/jobs

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of a printJob object. The printJob object should only contain configuration property. All properties of configuration are nullable. All other fields, including job and document IDs, are set automatically during resource creation and should not be provided in request.

Right now, Universal Print supports only one printDocument per printJob object.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a printJob object and associated printDocument in the response body.

Examples

Request

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/print/shares/{printerShareId}/jobs
