In today’s dynamic business environment, the push to eliminate print servers is more pressing than ever. Modern organizations require robust, scalable, and easy-to-manage print solutions. Microsoft Universal Print has responded to this need, introducing a seamless way to shift the print functionality from on-premises to the cloud. However, while its capabilities are commendable, certain key features are not available natively.
