Create printJob for a printer

2024-06-07

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new printJob for a printer.

Note: A user can submit up to ~10000 print jobs in 12 days.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	PrintJob.Create	PrintJob.ReadWrite, PrintJob.ReadWrite.All, PrintJob.ReadWriteBasic, PrintJob.ReadWriteBasic.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Not supported.	Not supported.

HTTP request

POST print/printers/{id}/jobs

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of a printJob object. The printJob object should only contain configuration. All properties of configuration are nullable. All other fields, including job and document IDs, are set automatically during resource creation.

Right now, Universal Print supports only one printDocument per printJob object.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a printJob object and associated printDocument in the response body.

Example

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
