Universal Print
Replace print servers, move printers to the cloud. Driverless, serverless, directly through Microsoft 365.
Your Print Servers Cost More Than They Print
On-premises print servers are a relic: dedicated hardware, regular updates, driver chaos on every endpoint. When a driver update fails, an entire department stops printing. Remote employees need VPN to print. And your IT admin spends hours on printer issues instead of strategic work.
Universal Print is already included in Microsoft 365 E3/E5 — 100 print jobs per user per month, at no additional cost. Modern printers connect directly to the cloud. For older models, there is a lightweight connector. Intune deploys printers automatically to endpoints.
All that is missing is a structured migration: printer inventory, compatibility check, connector setup, and a rollout plan.

3 steps. From start to finished project
How a typical Microsoft project runs with DAMALO
STEP 1
Choose a blueprint and analyze your environment
Select a proven blueprint. AI agents pull your licenses, current config, and compliance needs into the plan. No generic advice.
STEP 2
Receive your plan and start implementation
Review the plan. AI agents draft architecture, sequence tasks, and map dependencies to Microsoft best practices. Tailored to your tenant.
STEP 3
Guided implementation through to completion
Execute step by step. AI agents provide PowerShell scripts, admin center deep-links, and walkthroughs. Every change auto-documented.
The result: A completed Microsoft project in 1-2 weeks. Documented. Audit-ready. Understood by your team. Adjustable at any time. No change requests. No follow-up engagements.
