Universal Print – requirements
In this section, you will learn about all the prerequisites to use Universal Print.
End user requirements
End users must have the following to be able to search printer shares and print:

Alternatively, a user may have a Universal Print standalone license, meaning a license bought just for Universal Print versus a bundle license such as Microsoft 365 E3. Licenses for Universal Print are automatically distributed via Entra ID.
- Windows desktops that are:
- Running Windows 11, or Windows 10 version 1903 onwards.
- Joined to Microsoft Entra ID. Microsoft Entra Hybrid joined physical and virtual desktops are also supported.
