PaperCut MF 22.0.9 (Build 65766)
Posted on 08 March 2023 09:48 AM

Print Provider version 109.20.0.6242
Print Deploy server version 1.7.2253

Enhancements:

  • Removed restriction that stopped admins from either creating or editing scan actions that didn’t have PDF selected as a file type when deskew and/or despeckle was turned on. SC-1518
  • Improved work flow of internal user self-registration by ensuring that the end user can see their own PIN in an email delivered to them if they could not or did not choose their own PIN. If the admin does not allow self selection of PINs for self registration, they must enforce 2 rules: 1) the user must enter an email address; and 2) email confirmation must be sent. For new installations only, tick box “Also email confirmation message to user” is now by default ticked. Admin creation of new internal users is not affected. PO-1122, PO-1210
  • Dependency: Various minor dependency upgrades. PO-1096
  • Updated links to the user manual to point to the online user manual hosted on the PaperCut website. PO-989
  • Added Primary and Secondary card ID import options, including regex, to Microsoft Azure AD user sync configuration. PO-405
  • Added customizable import of username aliases from Microsoft Azure AD. PO-550

Copier / Device Integration:

  • Fujifilm:

    • Fixed an issue where changes made to the ext-device.fujifilm.app-to-destination config key would appear on other devices. CDSS-1677
    • Fixed an issue where selecting restricted apps that were added to the ext-device.fujifilm.app-to-destination config key would cause an infinite loading screen. CDSS-1677

    • Fixed an issue on Ricoh SmartSDK that was causing auto logout to fail. CDSS-1639
    • Updated the Ricoh Remote Operation Client to automatically configure device permissions for Copy, Print, Document Server, Fax and Scanner devices jobs in order to correctly apply color copy restrictions. CDSS-1816

  • Konica-Minolta i-Option:
    • Fixed an issue where after upgrading to 22.0.8 customers are experiencing a very regular (but intermittent) ‘Pre-authorization required’ error message when login with a card reader. CDSS-2082
    • Added validation on at least one recipient required to start scan to fax on Konica Minolta. CDSS-2037
  • Sharp OSA:
    • Mixed mode scanning on SHARP devices was not officially supported but could be enabled. This could lead to MF becoming unresponsive. This is now fixed and SHARP can now do mixed-size scanning. CDSS-1890
    • Fixed an issue where user couldn’t cancel integrated scanning on Sharp devices. CDSS-1955
  • HP OXP HP devices were prioritising PDF/A. This meant the user could not scan “normal” PDF files on HP. This has been changed so that HP devices will default scan in PDF format, and if the customer wants PDF/A, “Convert to PDF/A” can be toggled for the specific scan configuration. CDSS-1957
  • HP FutureSmart Fixed an issue where after upgrading to 22.0.8, HP FutureSmart devices will show an error, preventing that device from being setup properly for usage. CDSS-2103
