Assigning and deploying cloud printers with Microsoft Endpoint Manager
In the previous section, you learned about all the basics – as well as the manual process – of assigning printers. This process is also possible to perform via Microsoft Endpoint Manager (as explained earlier) as a more enterprise-ready approach to, for example, assign hundreds of printers across the globe to your users:
- First, download the Universal Print provisioning tool via this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=101453.
- Make the CSV list ready for deployment as Microsoft Endpoint Manager enrolment will use a CSV file as the source. You can find the
printers.csv
file in the tool as part ofSamplePolicy.zip
. - Add all the Universal Print printer share name and share IDs and whether the printer should become the default printer in the CSV file in the following order,
SharedId
,SharedName
,IsDefault
