Printing Using the Microsoft Cloud Service (Universal Print)
85FF-0A6
Universal Print is a service that enables you to print documents via the Microsoft cloud. Universal Print drivers are included as a standard feature in Windows 10, so there is no need to install printer drivers for each computer. This also eliminates the need for printer servers, thereby enabling cost reductions and reducing the workload on network administrators.

You cannot use Universal Print in the following situations:
To use Universal Print via a proxy server, you must also configure the proxy settings on your computer.
