Papercut Print Deploy & Universal Print

[Netwacky87]

Hi all!

 

We've just installed new copiers across our estate and Print queues have never deployed reliably using GPP so I started to look at alternatives and PaperCut Print Deploy looks great and seems to work very well.

 

I don't think this is possible by the looks of it but if you don't ask...

 

Can Print Deploy install domain networked printers when in school and once removed and taken home install Universal Print so staff can print from home?

 

Thanks!

Hi @mmoseley,

 

PaperCut Print Deploy does not support Universal Print printers but Microsoft will handle adding the UP printers using Intune.

 

If the UP printers are hosted and tracked by PaperCut, then we will handle the jobs when we copy and print the PDF file from Azure.

 

Do not forget, Microsoft requires administrative access on the client system in order to install and update Type 3 print drivers shared from a print server. There is a Windows policy to allow Standard users the ability to get this software from the server. You need to make the call on the policy when the users on the client system is not admin on the machine.

 

If the Azure printers are not being tracked by PaperCut, then the PaperCut Direct Print Monitor software will track jobs sent to UP printers but the Direct Print Monitor software can't be the version installed with Print Deploy.

 

I've thrown in some what ifs but the main answer to the question, does Print Deploy handle deployment of UP hosted printers then that is a no.

 

 

Thanks
