Configuring Universal Print
What is Universal Print? This is a cloud-managed print service that’s provided by Microsoft through Microsoft Azure. Universal Print runs solely on Microsoft Azure. So, when it’s deployed with Universal Print-compatible printers, you do not require any on-premises infrastructure to use the service.
