Create printJob

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new printJob for a printer.

Also creates a new printDocument associated with the printJob.

Note: A user can submit up to ~10000 print jobs in 12 days.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	PrintJob.Create	PrintJob.ReadWrite, PrintJob.ReadWrite.All, PrintJob.ReadWriteBasic, PrintJob.ReadWriteBasic.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Not supported.	Not supported.

HTTP request

POST /print/printers/{printerId}/jobs

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
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 a 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.
