Universal Print integration with Excel for the web

You can now print directly from Excel for the web to your organization’s printers with Universal Print. Integrating Universal Print into Excel for the web gives authenticated users a new in-app print experience to search for and print to available printers in their organization. They can do that on any device with Edge or Chrome browsers without installing the printer. How to use this new feature If you are using Universal Print in your organization and you have access to your organization’s printers, you can now print directly from within Excel for the web. To do that:

Open an Excel file in the browser.

Access the print interface in one of 3 ways:

Select File > Print

Select Page Layout > Page Setup

Through the Ctrl + P / Command + P keyboard shortcut

In the Printer section of the right-hand pane, expand the dropdown menu to see the available cloud printers to which you have access.

Select the printer you want to use from the list or search for a printer by name.

You can select the gear icon in the Printer section of the right-hand pane for more printer settings

Picture that shows a user printing from within Excel for the web. Print finishing options such as orientation, margins etc., including the selected printer are shown on the right of the screen.

Select the Print button.

Employees do not need to install the printer on the device used because. When they choose to print to a cloud printer, Excel doesn’t rely on the underlying browser’s print UI. Instead, it communicates with the Universal Print cloud service directly to get printer information and send the document to the selected printer. More ways to simplify printing Integrating Universal Print in Excel is another step towards providing a seamless print experience in cloud apps. Other Microsoft products that use Universal Print to simplify printing are OneDrive on the web, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365 Cloud PC and more to come. Try it and share your feedback This feature is currently rolling out to Universal Print customers. The rollout is expected to be completed by the end of November 2022.

Windows print problem. Every Time! Printer prints job, but on PC it still says "Printing" and no additional job will print.

This happens EVERY time.

It happens on two different printers on two different networks (at home and at work)....so it is a WINDOWS problem, not a PRINTER problem.

Send a job to the printer.

It completes and prints JUST FINE. All is well.

THEN==>>

In the printer window for that printer, it continues to say "Printing" (forever!) even tho the job has successfully completed. If i highlight the job and "Delete" it, it says "Deleting"....forever. No other print job sent will print, as they are all blocked
behind the job that has already successfully printed, and that cannot be manually deleted, either.

So, EVERY TIME the queue must be manually cleared out. The only way i can print another job is a 3-step process

Go to Services, Stop print queue.

Go to PRINTERS folder, delete all files.

Go back to Services, and START print queue.

After those three steps, I can print again...exactly one print job...then it happens the same again for that job. Obviously this is a complete hassle.

I would like specific and definitive instructions not on how to now get WINDOWS to work "normally"...so that when a print job successfully prints and is done, the queue for that printer shows as empty, and so more print jobs can be sent.

If this were a very intermittent occasional problem it might be tolerable. But it happens EVERY TIME with EVERY PRINTER.

Help!
