Enhancements:

• Based on a survey of our customer base we have increased the default timeout of jobs in hold/release queues. The default value differs between education and commercial/professional sites (2 hours for education, 4 hours for commercial/professional). The timeout is configurable but the default is a good compromise between user convenience and environmental savings. The new default only affects new installations.
• The batch shared account import now supports adding and removing user and group access, in addition to replacing the access list.
• Improved error reporting in the batch shared account import to always report the line numbers where errors occurred.
• PaperCut will automatically detect and recover from Windows operating system print spooler crashes (often caused by problem printer drivers). This recovery process has been made faster to reduce system downtime after a print spooler crash.
• Improved the reliability of determining the printer network addresses on Windows clusters. The IP address is used by the PaperCut application server to retrieve printer toner information via SNMP.
• Added a new API for creating internally managed users.

Fixes:

• Fixed a problem syncing a group with multiple Active Directory domains when the group exists on one domain and but not others.
• Fixed issue with client pop-ups not appearing on some recent CUPS versions (Mac and Linux) using IPv6 addresses.
• Upgrading PaperCut when using a Web Print sandbox system no longer requires restarting the Web Print GUI afterwards.
• Fixed the column names in the "Printer groups - summary" report.
• End-user web pages: Fixed the details hover-over text in the rates page when charging % extra for large pages.
• Fixed detection of usernames when authenticating via the Novell client software and usernames contain a dot character.
