PaperCut 11.5 (Build 15204)
Posted on 13 October 2011 10:51 AM

New features:

  • Web Cashier. This feature provides a simple web interface for (non-technical) staff to charge items to PaperCut accounts and/or deposit funds into PaperCut accounts. E.g. a print room could use this to charge services like binding and laminating to a user's PaperCut account, or a bursar's desk could use it to easily recharge a user's account after accepting cash at a register. See the user manual for more information.

Enhancements:

  • New option to specify the default page loaded after logging into the end-user web interface. E.g. to go straight to the Web Print page after login.
  • Enhancements to support and simplify the setup of Windows Authentication to MS SQL Server.
  • Improved scalability for sites with many secondary print servers under high load by reducing the number of database connections used.
  • Added more documentation about Mac to Windows printing and Print Services for UNIX.
  • Page count hardware validation may now be used on sites who are using a custom SNMP community name.
  • Print scripting: the API inputs.printer.groups now returns an array that may be used in for..each loops.
  • Added support for print job redirection across more CUPS print queue types (queues using custom CUPS filters).

  • Page count hardware validation may now be used in Windows clusters.
