Universal Print User SL

Microsoft added the Universal Print User SL to the October 2023 Product Terms, a licence for users who need to make use of the Azure-based software-as-a-service printing solution and who don’t have one of the licences that include Universal Print jobs (Microsoft 365 F3/E3/E5/Business Premium or Windows 11 Enterprise E3/E5). The standalone licence costs $4 per user per month and includes 5 print jobs, as do the Windows 11 Enterprise E3/E5 and Microsoft 365 F3 licences – the rest include 100 print jobs. There are then two Add-ons available for higher print volume – another 500 jobs cost $25 per month, and 10,000 jobs cost $300 per month, and you need to commit to the extra volume for a year.

Increase in Universal Print capacity allocations

Universal Print is a software-as-a-service printing solution that runs entirely on Microsoft Azure and eliminates the need to maintain traditional on-premises print servers or install printer drivers. Customers licensed with Windows 10 Enterprise E3. E5, A3 and A5 or Microsoft 365 A3, A5, F3 and Business Premium receive 5 print jobs per licence per month which are pooled at the tenant level, and from 1st May 2023, users licensed with Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 will receive 100 print jobs per licence.  If additional capacity is needed there are Add-ons available providing a further 500 print jobs per month.
