I became aware of this topic, which Microsoft has announced these days, through the following tweet from blog reader Karl.
@MSWindowsITPro will this fix some 15+ years old issues and bugs with the printing management console and printer servers?! Time will tell. https://t.co/3SaOs6kLOd

Microsoft announced Universal Print, a cloud-based printing solution, in February 2020 in this article. Commercial and educational customers moving to the cloud with Microsoft 365 need a simple, straightforward way for their employees to print. This is exactly what Microsoft wants to offer with Universal Print. In this Techcommunity article you can now find some more details about the public preview.

Universal Print moves key Windows Server print functionality to the Microsoft 365 cloud, so organizations no longer need on-premises print servers and do not need to install printer drivers on devices. In addition, Universal Print adds key functionality like security groups for printer access, location-based printer discovery, and a rich administrator experience. Jonathan from redbytesite
