Universal Print anywhere (Preview)
Tip
Please post any feedback about this feature at our community site.
Universal Print anywhere is a platform for offering printer queues, that follow the user, built on top of the Universal Print cloud service. Each of these printer queues allow any number of registered printers to participate in the release workflow of an user print job. Registered printers can participate in one or many Universal Print anywhere queues and even in combination as a direct printer.
By building on top of the core Universal Print platform, Universal Print anywhere continues to offer a simple and secure server-less architecture and deployment when combined with Universal Print ready printers.
The overall deployment architecture remains the same as before. Printers are registered to Universal Print directly or through some proxy component, such as the Universal Print connector.
Once the printers are registered with Universal Print, you'll want to configure the secure release option for each printer you want to use with Universal Print anywhere. Currently, Universal Print offers Secure Release with QR code. Additional secure release options may be offered in the future.
Using the Universal Print administrator portal, select Universal Print anywhere menu item. Once there, click Add to create your first queue.
Universal Print anywhere offers admins to set an organizational hierarchy location to provide common end-user printer discovery experience and admin asset tracking experience.
Universal Print anywhere offers admins to limit the set of print options and supported option values from the following master list that all Universal Print anywhere queues have. Follow Print Option Management to set the print options.
