Microsoft has attributed an ongoing Universal Print sharing issue—causing intermittent “Sharing Print Failed” errors when creating printer shares—to a Microsoft Graph API code change that increased Entra ID directory replication latency and exposed a pre-existing race condition. The company has tagged the problem as incident UP1287359, is deploying a corrective code change, and provided a 13-step mitigation that avoids selecting organization-wide access and adds members manually until the fix is applied. #UniversalPrint #MicrosoftGraphAPI
