printJob: redirect

2025-07-23

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.

Redirect a print job to a different printer.

Redirecting a print job will only succeed if there is a printTask in a processing state on the associated print job, started by a trigger that the requesting app created.

For details about how to use this API to add pull printing support to Universal Print, see Extending Universal Print to support pull printing.

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)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	PrintJob.Manage.All	Not available.

HTTP request

POST /print/printers/{id}/jobs/{id}/redirect

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

In the request body, supply the ID of the printer that the print job should be redirected to.

Property	Type	Description
destinationPrinterId	String	The ID of the printer the print job should be redirected to.
configuration	microsoft.graph.printJobConfiguration	Updated configuration of print job.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a printJob object queued for the destination printer.

Important

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.
