Very Frustrating that MS says Universal Print connector is available in preview but it is not
I spoke to a Microsoft tech - showed him the docs where it says Universal Print connector is in preview but it really isn't. If anyone knows a way to accomplish printing besides send to eprint or combo PAC and PAD and no third party connector, I'm all ears. Documentation below leads you to believe you can do it:

vihargadhesariya how does this help me with a connector in Power Automate? Yes, I do have Azure AD-Universal Print blade.

Hi,
I face the same problem in my organization. I set up Universal Print and added universal printer using Universal Print Connector on Windows Server. The printer is available for users who have access to share and the can print from Windows. It works flawlessly. However we can't create a print flow using Universal Print Connector because it's not available in Power Automate. We tried several methods to make it listed under Print Connectors in Power Automate but none of them worked. Microsoft please fix it or give us any information if this connector was depreciated...

Ha, deprecated - not sure if it was ever even live!

Confirm Universal Print Preview is enabled in your tenant’s Azure portal (Azure AD → Universal Print blade); if absent, file a Microsoft support request.
Install and run Microsoft’s Universal Print Connector (no third-party) via PowerShell:
Install-Module UniversalPrintManagement Connect-UPService Register-UPPrinter -PrinterShareName "<ShareName>" -Location "<Location>"
On Win 10 21H1+ clients, add printers directly: Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners → Add → “My printer is a Universal Print printer” → sign in.
Deploy printers via Intune's native Universal Print integration to avoid separate connector installations.

Hi,
Universal Print is enabled, despite it like OP said, connector Universal Print in Power Automate under connectors is not listed and there is no possibility to add it.
