The drive to eliminate print servers has gained significant momentum as businesses seek cost-effective, efficient, and scalable printing solutions. One standout in this landscape is Microsoft Universal Print, a cloud-based print management service that simplifies printing without the need for on-premises infrastructure. However, while it offers notable advantages, it lacks several key features necessary for comprehensive print management. This is where Celiveo 365 SaaS comes into play, offering functionalities that enhance and extend Microsoft Universal Print’s capabilities.
Understanding Microsoft Universal Print

By leveraging driverless printing, it simplifies the end-user experience and reduces the administrative overhead.
