## Overview

Printing in Business Central can go through Universal Print cloud printers, email-enabled printers, or the browser. The overview page explains these options and how printers are registered and managed, so start there to choose an approach.

## Key points

- Three printing options: Universal Print for cloud printers, Email Print for email-enabled printers, and browser printing.
- Printing works for the web client, mobile app, and Teams.
- Email printers are set up on the Printer Management page with the Send to Email Printer extension; the page covers paper size selection and privacy settings (2020 release wave 1).
- Universal Print setup uses the Universal Print integration extension, the Printer Management page, and the universal print connector (2021 release wave 1).
- Universal Print guidance covers Azure configuration, print shares, printer authorization, and document conversion, for online and on-premises deployments.
- Default printers can be set for all print jobs or for specific reports.
- Default printer selections can be made at user or global level and apply to cloud printers and PDF output.
