PaperCut NG version 24 contains significant changes including internet connection requirements and licensing implications for all customers upgrading to version 24.

Please review Important points to know about PaperCut NG/MF version 24 before upgrading.

Enhancements:

• Added a new table in the About > Registration page showing a list of active Application Servers using the same CRN. A ‘deactivate’ option allows admins to deactivate the Application Server remotely. This will release entitlements from the server and make them available for other active servers to claim. See Releasing all entitlements from an Application Server for more info. [PO-2508]
• Added Admin Rights to control access to the Enable Printing section, including Print Deploy, Mobility Print and Universal Print. Note, the “View connected clients and assign print queues” right is for a new Print Deploy feature that will be released in PaperCut NG version 24.1. [PD-2006]

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue that was causing a page error to occur when pay stations were created. [PO-2548]

• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303 devices: Fixed an issue that prevented the serial number and toner information from being read from HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303 devices. [PIE-782]
