Microsoft Universal Print is a cloud-based print service from Microsoft. MyQ integrates with Universal Print by registering virtual printers in Azure that map to MyQ queues. Jobs submitted via Universal Print are downloaded by MyQ periodically and processed as standard print jobs.
Prerequisites
You have an application registered in Azure with the appropriate permissions. You will need the Directory (tenant) ID and Application (client) ID of this application to create the connection in MyQ.
To finish the connection, you must use a Microsoft account that has the Universal Print license assigned.

The authorization code expires after 15 minutes. If it is not confirmed in time, an error appears in the Issues column in the Queues section when a user next attempts to create a printer. MyQ generates a new code at the next attempt.
To use this connection with a queue, go to MyQ > Queues and open a queue for editing. On the Job Receiving tab, set Jobs via MS Universal Print to Enabled, and click Save.
After a few minutes the queue appears as a virtual printer in Microsoft Universal Print.
