Posted on 16 February 2011 08:00 AM

Enhancements:

  • Print job watermarking now supports a wider variety of PCL6 printers and drivers.
  • Various improvements to the end-user web interface to improve accessibility (e.g. for user with screen readers).
  • Added a new printer script recipe which asks the user if a job should be held in a hold/release queue or not. This allows the user to select secure release for only sensitive documents and use direct printing for other documents.
  • Display information about the licensed devices and payment gateways in the About page.
  • Updated the "User printing - summary" report to show a breakdown of color and grayscale pages. Added office and department fields to the Excel/CSV report.
  • Added a new filter to all the print logs reports to only show Web Print jobs.
  • Added a new username filter the user list and user configuration reports.
  • Added a new server-command and web services API to renaming shared accounts.
  • Emailed system notifications sent via SMTP can now be encrypted if the mail server supports TLS.
  • Automatically enable printer error detection if printer scripting is enabled. This ensures that the scripts using error check call will work as expected without needing to enable printer error notifications.
  • Novell OES Linux: The installer now checks the iPrint version and will warn if the version is known to cause problems.
  • Various documentation improvements including SSL certificate installation.
  • Various translation updates for Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.

Fixes:

  • Removed the "mixed content" warning message that may appear when administrators connect to the admin web interface via HTTPS using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  • Fixed a problem that may cause find-me print jobs on Windows to fail if the Print Provider service was restarted while the jobs were awaiting release.
  • Fixed problem with dashboard "pages printed" graph that would show data offset by one day in some time zones.
  • Fixed the column headers in the printer attributes Excel/CSV report.
  • Fixed issue that may have prevented detection of printer toner levels when PaperCut was installed on a non-English edition of Windows.
  • Fixed issue in client popup authentication under specific configurations where the logged in username was not correctly displayed.
  • Fixed an error that could occur when using a "Quick Find" search if a screen had been left idle for more than 5 minutes.
  • Fixed a problem that can stop watermarks from appearing if using the %user_id%, %user_full_name% or %user_email% watermark replacements when the user's email address was blank.
  • Fixed a problem with watermarks with custom position 0mm from top. They were previously printed at the bottom of the page.
  • Fixed problems displaying Chinese characters in the Dashboard "What's Next" widget.
  • Fixed an error that may occur if an invalid regular expression was entered in the print document name filter. Improved validation to disallow invalid filters.
  • Fixed issues that may prevent admin interface navigation while using an older Firefox 2 browser.
  • Fixed issue with web services API and server-command that would allow creation of duplicate shared accounts. Additionally, new shared account security settings are now inherited from the template account.
  • Fixed a problem in reports where a date range filter may not have applied if combined with a shared account filter containing two or more accounts.
  • Do not allow the batch internal user import to run if the "Internal User" feature is not enabled. This stops users from accidentally running the wrong import type.
  • Fix a problem with admin rights where a user would be denied access from the "Devices" tab if they were restricted to only access a subset of printers.
  • Windows: Removed rare "file locked" message that may appear when conducting install-over-the-top upgrades.
  • Mac OS: Fixed a problem with the OS X widget that could make the configuration settings not display correctly.
  • Linux: Improved installer to save about 80MB of server disk space.

  • Improved support for OKI MC860 printer.
  • Mac: Improved support for printing PDF documents on Xerox PostScript printers.
  • Mac: Add support for Canon Pro 9000 printers.
