- Universal Print Anywhere, or Pull Printing, is now generally available for Microsoft 365
- Users authenticate printing jobs when they arrive at their chosen printer
- Avoid privacy errors and duplicate waste
Microsoft has launched ‘Universal Print Anywhere’ for all Microsoft 365 organizations at no additional cost, all in an attempt to improve security avoiding erroneous impressions to incorrect locations.
The company’s Nishant Lakhanpal explained in a blog post that users can “print safely from any location and recover their documents in any printer”, a feature that has been known as ‘Pull Printa’.
It means that users will have to authorize printing work once they reach their chosen printer, which means that important or private documents will automatically print and end up in unwanted hands.
Microsoft provides extraction impression to all eligible users
The function works by sending printing work without selecting a specific printer in advance, so documents can be recovered from any registered corporate printer authenticating on the device. It also prevents users from having to track through long printer lists to find the right printer, which often leads to errors.
“Universal Print Anywhere ensures that confidential documents are never left in printers for unauthorized visualization,” Lakhanpal wrote.
In addition to safety benefits, Microsoft also points out that extraction printing helps reduce waste by avoiding duplicate printing caused by forgotten or non -collected printing works.
“The function is included with its existing universal printing license at no additional cost,” Microsoft confirmed.
Know easy, universal printing anywhere works on Windows and Macos platforms, which means that all employees can use functionality without being linked to the Microsoft operating system itself. To participate with Universal Print anywhere, administrators must register printers on the network.
Looking towards the future, Microsoft has also committed to extend Universal Print anywhere for even more OEM to guarantee the maximum compatibility and support of the device.
