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 issue disabling pay station devices from the admin interface.
• Fixed detection of usernames when authenticating via the Novell client software and usernames contain a dot character.

Copier / Device Integration:

• Kyocera Mita Onboard/Embedded (HyPAS):
  • Added support for smaller letter/A4 MFPs
  • Fixed error that would keep copies from being tracked on some newer firmware versions.
  • Fixed problems using the "Device Access" button to login as the device admin.
  • Fixed compatibility problem with newer firmware versions that would cause an "Expansion Authentication unavailable" error to be displayed.
• Lexmark Onboard/Embedded (LeSF): Added support for new devices: X950, X952, X954, C950, X548, 6500e.
• Sharp Onboard/Embedded (OSA):
  • Fixed a problem when using an external keyboard with both username/password and ID number authentication enabled where the text field needed to be selected twice before keyboard input would work.
  • Further improvements to prevent restricted users overrunning accounts after restarts.
• Konica Minolta Onboard/Embedded (OpenAPI): Fixed problem that could prevent restricted users from copying while certain other jobs were in progress.
