Good to know: The Secure Print Feature for the 365 business Print Agent is a paid add-on.
Please check under Extension License Management (365 business development) if you have purchased the license for the Secure Print Feature.

Secure Print is a feature of the 365 business Print Agent that allows print jobs to be secured and only released after authentication at the printer. This feature is particularly useful when confidential documents need to be printed and uncontrolled access to the printer should be avoided.

Setting up Secure Print

Some preparations are necessary to use Secure Print. The setup of Secure Print consists of two elements:

Setting up Secure Print users

When setting up Secure Print users, the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central users are linked to the Microsoft Entra ID object ID. This link is necessary to enable authentication and assignment of sent print jobs.

  1. Navigate to the 365 business Print Agent Setup page.
  2. Select the Related menu item and Secure Print Users. Secure Print Setup Action
  3. Select the user you want to enable for Secure Print.
  4. Enter the Microsoft Entra ID object ID of the user. Secure Print User Setup
Note: You can find the user's Entra ID object ID in the Microsoft Entra administration.
