PaperCut 10.6 (Build 12014)
Posted on 18 October 2010 08:00 AM

New features:

  • Default shared account - New option to give users a default shared account. The default account is then pre-selected in account selection pop-ups making it faster to select commonly used accounts.
  • Secondary user directory - Some organizations have more than one user directory (e.g. a Microsoft Active Directory and a separate LDAP server). This options allows importing, synchronizing and authenticating against two separate user directory sources.

Enhancements:

  • When multiple jobs are released from a Windows hold/release queue the original job print order is now maintained.
  • Improved support for Windows Server Core.
  • Bulk user actions may now be performed based on users' last activity date. This makes it easy to apply operations like deleting users that have had no activity for a long period of time.
  • New print scripting snippets to help administrators quickly build new scripts.
  • Added log rotation to the print provider log file to avoid it consuming too much disk space.
  • Improved handling of Windows print provider restarts to avoid currently held jobs from being left in the queue. Customers using Microsoft Clustering will need to refer to PaperCut Manual for further instructions.
  • Added a new admin right to disable access to the global job log.
  • Several new ad hoc report filters, including the ability to filter on multiple chosen printers (instead of all printers or one printer), and multiple chosen shared accounts.
  • Added new web services APIs and server-commands to set the "override user-level settings" option on a printer.
  • The user configuration report now displays the shared account name for users with the "charge to single shared account" option enabled.
  • When viewing a deleted user (e.g. by clicking though from an old print log) a message now clearly indicates that the user has previously been deleted.
  • Enhanced feature to look up user id/card numbers in an external database.
  • Web Print no longer lists printers that users do not have permission to print to (i.e. via a printer filter).
  • If there is only a single printer available in Web Print then it is now selected by default.
  • Added the "Transacted By" field to the "Transaction Logs" PDF report.
  • New option to hide comment headers displayed in CSV reports.
  • Mac: Improved default memory configuration to improve reliability on busy systems.
  • Improved documentation for installing SSL certificates.
  • Various other documentation improvements.

Fixes:

  • Fixed a problem that could result in Web Print jobs timing out early if they were also put into a hold/release queue.
  • Linux/CUPS: Improved reliability of print pop-ups for workstations with spaces in their machine names.
  • Improved print notification messages to include the destination printer when using printer load balancing or find me printing.
  • Limited access administrators are no longer able to enable/disable a user if they do not have the "Change user settings" right.
  • Fixed an error viewing deleted users (e.g. by clicking on the user name from an old print log).
  • Fixed problem that can occur when removing groups with many thousands of users. Also made the deletion process much faster and more efficient for large user groups.
  • Improved support for watermarking on Fuji-Xerox PostScript printers.
  • Fixed problem filtering the user list by balance when the multiple personal accounts feature is enabled.
  • Fixed display of account selection and printer override settings in the "User configuration"" report.
  • Fixed problem that could occur when editing scheduled reports if they have filters referencing a printer that has been deleted.

Printer compatibility improvements:

  • Added page count support for Evolis Pebble printers.
  • Improved support for n-up printing in the Ricoh universal PostScript driver.
  • Improved page count detection on some Canon imageRUNNER devices using PCL5 drivers, such as the Canon imageRUNNER 2270.
  • Improved support for Sharp GDI print drivers.
  • Mac: Improved support for Canon iPF5100 for Canon UFR drives when printing from Adobe Reader.
  • Mac: Added support for Epson Stylus Pro 4000.
  • Mac: Fixed duplex page count issue with the Mac "Generic PCL Laser Printer" driver.
  • Linux: Improved duplex detection for the Canon iR5075.
  • Linux: Added support for the Canon iR5075 when using the Canon UFRII Linux driver.
  • Improved page count detection for PostScript print jobs generated through SAP software.
