Update printerShare

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Update the properties of a printer share. This method can be used to swap printers.

For example, if a physical printer device breaks, an administrator can register a new printer device and update this printerShare to point to the new printer without requiring users to take any action.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

HTTP request

PATCH /print/shares/{printerShareId}

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 the values for relevant printerShare fields that should be updated. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintains their previous values or be recalculated based on changes to other property values. For best performance, don't include existing values that haven't changed.

Following properties can be updated:

Property	Type	Description
printer	microsoft.graph.printer	The printer that this printer share is related to. Use the printer@odata.bind syntax as shown in the following example to update which printer this printer share is associated with.
displayName	String	The name of the printer share that print clients should display.
allowAllUsers	Boolean	If true, all users and groups are granted access to this printer share. This supersedes the allowlists defined by the allowedUsers and allowedGroups navigation properties.

Note

If you're updating the printer property, other properties can't be updated in the same request.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and an updated printerShare object in the response body.
