HP Authentication Manager and Universal Print Bundle

As organizations embrace hybrid work, print security must be treated with the same importance as digital security. HP Authentication Manager and Microsoft Universal Print provide a secure, cloud-based printing solution that integrates with Microsoft Entra ID to enforce modern authentication and secure print policies.

With Universal Print for HP Authentication Manager, any printer can service Pull Print, Secure Release, Badge Release, and Direct Print, allowing organizations to deploy the print experience that best suits their needs.

Pull Print Anywhere (Auto Badge Release)

Users submit print jobs to a Universal Print Anywhere queue and badge-on any enabled printer using their preferred method, including a smartphone, proximity card, biometric credential, or other supported authentication option. HP Authentication Manager integrates directly with Microsoft Entra ID, enabling conditional access policies and identity controls to be enforced at the device. Only after successful Badge identification will their print jobs be automatically released. We call this Tap & Go Printing, No MFA required.

Secure Print Anywhere (Badge Sign-in) With/Without MFA

Direct Print

For environments where secure release is not required, traditional Direct Printing remains available. Users can print directly to the device without authentication or can optionally use Direct Print with PIN Release for added document security while maintaining a familiar printing experience.
