- Universal Print eliminates print servers: Like OneDrive replaced file servers, Microsoft's Universal Print is phasing out print servers by requiring only an internet-connected printer and a device.
- Cost-effective and driverless: Universal Print reduces costs, improves security and reliability, and eliminates the need for print drivers, working seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and web platforms.
- New "Universal Print Anywhere" feature: Announced at Ignite 2024, this "pull print" functionality allows users to print from any device and release jobs to any organizational printer after authentication.
- Enhanced security and efficiency: Pull printing prevents unauthorized access to sensitive documents and reduces toner and paper waste by requiring authentication for job release.
- Customizable by IT admins: Admins can configure print options for the Universal Print anywhere printer share, now available in preview mode.
