Posted on 30 November 2015 02:33 PM

New Features:

  • System Health API:
    • PaperCut now provides an API to monitor the health of the Application and Site Servers as well as the connectivity to the database.

Enhancements:

  • Release Manager Roles:
    • Release Station managers' queues can now be filtered to show only those print jobs that are relevant to them. Filters can be applied to selected printer groups or user groups to customize this view.

    • Improved the performance of large shared account code database handling, with:
      • Desktop clients that are configured to load shared account lists from a file now proactively update when a new file is found.
  • Timely toner notifications:
    • Low toner notifications are now sent immediately in place of a daily digest of toner statuses. This allows for devices to be maintained more responsively.
  • Usage data:
    • To help us improve our product, PaperCut now collects usage data. We will use this information to help prioritize enhancements to the functionality used by the majority. For more information, check out papercut privacy policy.
  • License and information messages are now displayed using a banner in the admin UI.
