Universal Print (UP) Printer Registration

1. Registration

1.1 Flow

Registration Flow

1.2 APIs

The following APIs are available with the Global UP Registration Service for registering printers. Global UP Registration Service Base URL: https://register.print.microsoft.com

The full URL will be the combination of the Global base URL and the endpoint(s) below.

1.2.1 /register

The /register endpoint is used to register a printer. There are 2 stages for registration.

  1. Initial registration call to register the printer

  2. Polling registration status for completion of the registration request

1.2.1.1 Initiating Registration

The first stage is to initiate a registration request with the global registration service. This is done by issuing a POST request to the /register endpoint with the registration payload in JSON format.

1.2.1.1.1 HTTP Request
POST /api/{version}/register

{version} is the version of the UP Registration API/protocol that the printer is using. Currently supported versions are:

  • v1.0
1.2.1.1.2 Request Headers

For v1.0:

Name Description
Authorization Bearer {token} Required. The printer must sign-in the admin to Azure AD, by follow the Device Code flow or another authorization flow.
1.2.1.1.3 Request Content-Type
  • application/json
1.2.1.1.4 Request Payload

The registration request payload will be in JSON format with the following values (case sensitive):

Value name Value type Description Required
name string The friendly name of the Printer. Yes
manufacturer string The manufacturer of the Printer. Yes
model string The model of the Printer. Yes
device_id string The physical device UUID of the Printer. Yes
device_type string The type of the device. Supported values (without quotes): "printer" Yes
certificate_request DeviceCertRequest object The X.509 Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the certificate created and used by the printer to identify itself. Please refer to Appendix A.1 for a coding sample on how to create a CSR with BouncyCastle .NET library. Yes

The DeviceCertRequest object has the following values (case sensitive):

Value name Value type Description Required
type string A property that MUST contain "pkcs10". Yes
data string A property that contains a base64-encoded PKCS#10 certificate request RFC4211. The certificate request MUST use an RSA public key algorithm with a 2048-bit key, a SHA256WithRSAEncryption signature algorithm, and a SHA256 hash algorithm. Yes
transport_key string The base64-encoded public portion of an asymmetric key that is generated by the client. Yes
1.2.1.1.5 Successful Response

On success (202 Accepted), the registration response payload will be in JSON format with the following values (case sensitive):

Value name Value type Description Required
registration_id string The unique ID that represents this registration request. This will be used when polling for registration status. Yes
interval integer Polling interval time (in seconds) to check for completion of the registration request. Yes
1.2.1.1.6 Error Response

On error, the following HTTP status codes will be returned along with an error response payload. The error response payload will contain an error JSON object following the format in section 2.

HTTP Status Codes

HTTP Status Code Description
400 (Bad Request) The request is invalid or malformed. See error response payload for details. Fix and resend the request.
500 (Internal Server Error) An internal error has occurred in the service. See error response payload for details. Retry the request (if possible, retry_timeout will be set).

2. Error Response Structure

For the above APIs, on error, the following error structure will be returned in the payload in JSON format with the following values (case sensitive). These error responses are mainly for development purposes and it is up to the developer what to show to the user, if anything.

Value name Value type Description Required
error string An error code string that is used to classify the type of error that occurred. Yes
error_description string A specific error message that can help identity the root cause of the error. No
error_code integer Additional error code that can help diagnose the issue. No
http_status_code integer The HTTP status code that was returned with this error response. No
retry_timeout integer The number of seconds that the printer should wait before retrying the request. No

Each API above will list out its possible error code string(s).

2.1 Example Response

{
  "error": "invalid_request",
  "error_description": "Missing required field device_type"

Connectivity with Universal Print service after printer registration

Universal Print supports the required functionality defined in PWG 5100.18 (IPP Infra). Universal Print ready printers are expected to use this protocol to communicate with Universal Print once it has completed the printer registration process. To ensure the caller is a printer with access, the printer will use the device Access Token, as described in Printer Access Token Retrieval, as the Bearer value for the HTTP Authorization header.
