You can also use the same management and security policies, like conditional access policies or even digital rights management. Using Azure AD and Microsoft 365 as the basis of the service means you're using the same identity and authentication for connecting to printers as you use for Office, OneDrive and other Microsoft services. Other printers can still be used with the service, but will need a proxy connector.
Canon and Lexmark will be releasing firmware updates later this year to add the protocol to existing printers that are currently in market and other manufacturers will be announcing support at Inspire this week. Universal Print will work best with printers that have native support for the protocol it uses. Once printers become cloud devices rather than being limited to the local network, it opens up many new scenarios. Retail operations could automatically print flyers, job rosters or price labels at stores each week from a central location, rather than sending an email and waiting for managers to see it and print the attachment. If you need someone in a different office to sign a physical document, you can print it there rather than emailing it or printing and posting it. Teachers can print on the school printer through the week and then collect all their printouts on a weekly visit, while payroll teams can print cheques without going to the office. The centralised admin options have been particularly useful to the 2,500 organizations (ranging from Canadian schools to Norwegian banks) on the private preview who needed to support newly remote users, and have generated nearly a quarter of a million print jobs already.
