This release contains a database upgrade and administrators should factor this into their upgrade plan.

New features:

• Added a new feature to validate the number of pages printed at the hardware level (e.g. via SNMP counter queries). This means PaperCut can now detect situations such as the user cancelling the print job by pressing the "cancel" button on the printer part-way through a job, automatically refunding (or reporting) the pages that didn't print.
• Print jobs can now have per-shared account discounts or surcharges (cost adjustments), in addition to the existing per-printer and per-user cost adjustments. This can be used to implement per-project/client discounts, for example.
• New payment integration (payment gateway module) for CBORD CS Gold.

Enhancements:

• Scan and fax jobs are now clearly distinguished from print and copy jobs in the job log.
• Added the ability to edit scan and fax logs (e.g. for correcting a charge to the wrong account).
• Added the ability to provide admin access to limit set of devices.
• Scalability improvements to the dashboard page for large sites.
• Added the ability to choose the day of the month on which monthly scheduled reports are run (e.g. run on the 15th day of the month, rather than the 1st).
• Improved the display of office/department/shared account name filters in reports when multiple values are entered.
• Release station:
  • added option to hide the user's balance.
  • added options to reduce user interaction during card self-registration.
  • added option to automatically log out after any job is released (suitable when running a high traffic station in "release any" mode).
  • added the ability to override the default locale/language. This allows the release station to use a language different to the default language on the system.
• Improved integration between payment systems and find-me printing and load balancing.
• Added additional features to our Blackboard and CBORD campus card integrations.
• Update the documentation for server-commands to include information about updating multiple-personal account balances.
• Improved print script recipes for discouraging printing of emails.
• In the end-user web interface, only display a link to "Show Shared Accounts" on the user's summary page if the "Allow users to view shared account balances" option is enabled.
• Added detection of case where PaperCut has been denied access to print queues using Windows permissions.

Fixes:

• Improved detection of serial number on some Ricoh printers.
• Improved the "duplicate job filter" to work on virtual print queues (e.g. when load balancing is used).
• Improved robustness of print job tracking when the document names contained junk characters.
• Fixed problems watermarking print jobs on some PCL5 printers.
• Fixed "Reason for not printing" report filter used in "Unreleased jobs paper saving - summary" report.
• Fixed some reports that defaulted to millimeter measurements in North America instead of inches.
• Fixed a problem where the cost set for CUSTOM paper size in the "Individual paper size" charging model was not being used. The default/base costs was being used instead.
• Groups that have been added to PaperCut but contain no users are now displayed when adding and removing groups. Previously they would not be shown, which could result in the group being unintentionally removed.
• Fixed a problem that could occur when redirecting a job from a print script on Linux.
• Fixed a problem that can occur when the system locale is set to "Japanese (Japan)" or to "Thai (Thailand)" resulting in print jobs being logged with the wrong times.
• Fixed web services example code for the Ruby language.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur in the "print provider" component when analyzing PCL6 jobs using page-level color detection on Windows.

Printer compatibility improvements:

• Added page count support for Konica Minolta 7130 family of printers.
• Improved page count detection for jobs with odd numbers of pages using the Panasonic DP-1820E and DP-8045 GDI drivers.
• Improved page count detection seen for some Konica Minolta printers.
• Improved page-level color detection for PostScript jobs containing certain classes of images. Also sped up processing of images in these jobs.
• Added page count, copy and duplex detection for the Sharp AR-5516/5520 and M316/M256 families and all Sharp printer/copiers using SPLC (Sharp Printer Language with Compression).
• Improved support for watermarking print jobs for the HP 1320 and related printers.
• Improved page size detection for PostScript printers when printing PDF files with custom page sizes.
• Improved color page count detection on the Kyocera Mita PCL universal driver.
• Fixed "charge by paper length" charging for roll-fed PostScript printers when rotation is applied in Adobe Creative Suite.
• Fixed detection of print jobs with paper size "A3Wide" for some Ricoh PCL6 printers.
• Improved copy count detection for HP OfficeJet K550 printers on Windows.

Copier / Device Integration:

• HP Onboard/Embedded (Chai SOE DSE): Fixed problem that could cause home screen icons to be re-ordered after being rearranged via the device's admin web interface.
• Konica Minolta Onboard/Embedded (OpenAPI): Added support for tracking printing from USB drives (and from the "iOptions" on-device web interface).
• Kyocera Mita Onboard/Embedded (HyPAS):
  • Added support for new range of A3 TASKalfa devices. These new devices have 4-digit model numbers (e.g. TASKalfa 5550ci).
  • Improved the login workflow to reduce the number of screens/clicks to log in.
  • Added option to return back to the print release screen after performing copying (via the Application Menu).
  • Added optional enforcement for color printing via USB.
  • Added option to mask/hide the user id when logging in.
  • Fixed a problem with screens not timing out on some older devices with updated firmware.
• Lexmark Onboard/Embedded (LeSF): Added support for the X772 device.
• Sharp Onboard/Embedded (OSA):
  • Added support for the latest generation devices with 10.1" screens.
  • Added support for devices with external keyboards.
  • Added option to mask/hide the user id when logging in.
  • Fixed an "operation disabled" error encountered on some models.
• Toshiba Onboard/Embedded:
  • Added support for the new Toshiba e-BRIDGE X (eBX) series devices. This also includes an update to the look-and-feel on these devices.
  • When using print release, allow the user to log in even if they don't have enough credit to perform photocopying. They will be able to release their print jobs but will not be granted access to perform photocopies.
• VCC Controller: Improved shared account lookup by PIN/code to provide faster access to sub-accounts. If a sub-account PIN/code is unique then this can be entered directly without entering the parent PIN/code first.
• Xerox Onboard/Embedded (Xerox Secure Access): Added an option to customize the initial login prompt message.
