The realm of office printing is evolving, with organizations seeking to eliminate print servers and transition towards more advanced, seamless solutions. Enter the concept of driverless printing and the introduction of Microsoft Universal Print. However, as robust as Microsoft Universal Print may be, it lacks certain key features essential for comprehensive printer fleet management.
What is Driverless Printing?
Driverless printing simplifies the print process by allowing users to print directly from their digital devices without the need for specific printer drivers. This ensures easy and efficient printing, reducing the burden on IT departments and eliminating compatibility issues. However, while this approach streamlines the user experience, managing a large printer fleet may require more sophisticated features.

Microsoft Universal Print is a solution designed to simplify the printing process by moving key functionalities to the cloud. It provides users the flexibility to print from anywhere without worrying about different printer drivers. While this cloud-based approach boasts numerous advantages, some critical features necessary for optimal fleet management are not included natively.
