New features:

• Central Reports: Many customers deploy PaperCut in a distributed scenarios across geographically dispersed sites. The PaperCut Central Reports feature can be configured to generate aggregated data from multiple, distributed application Servers/Sites. Now formally out of the Early Access Program, Central Reports has been enhanced to allow reports to be created even if a remote site is not accessible. More...
• Email to Print:
  • Added support for Microsoft Office Documents.
  • Added support for IMAP mail server connections (in addition to POP3).
• Automatic User ID Number Generation: Some sites require users to have ID numbers to login to copiers or release stations. PaperCut can now automatically generate user ID numbers for new users -- or users with blank ID number records -- and email the user their login details immediately. This feature eliminates the user ID management overhead for system administrators.
• Admin Rights Across Multiple Groups: Admin rights can now be assigned to administrators -- either individually or in groups -- across multiple user groups at one time. For example, the Admin team can be granted access to both "Students" and "Teachers". This simplifies administration and improves security.
• Canon Embedded Integration (Currently available in the UK): PaperCut is now integrated with Canon MFP devices. This integration offers the full suite of PaperCut functionality including Find-me printing, account selection and zero stop control. This feature is currently offered in the UK and is managed under the Early Access Program
• RISO Embedded Integration: RISO devices can now integrate with PaperCut to track copy and scan from high volume ComColor devices. This feature is currently managed under the Early Access Program.

Enhancements:

• The Application Server is now more resilient to restart events such as accidental outages or planned server upgrades. In the event that the Application Server is re-started, or failed over to a new VM instance, all user entered information (e.g. using account selection popups) is retained. For example, jobs that were previously authenticated will not need to be re-authenticated.
• The Admin interface now offers enhanced search capability - particularly useful for installations with thousands of printers or user groups.
• User Client Enhancements:
  • The Mac User Client now resides in the menu bar as a "menulet" and no longer lives in the Dock, conforming more closely to OS X user interface guidelines.
  • Added support for non Latin characters in the User Client configuration property file.
  • Added the option to customize the text displayed in the account selection popup.
• This release improves the printer load balancing behavior when using hold release queues. Now a batch of jobs released by one user will be sent to a single device, rather than distributed across multiple printers.
• Added the ability for users belonging to the group "guest" to use SSO with Windows Integrated Authentication.
• Reports enhancements:
  • Log reports now have a new filter option to allow filtering by print method: Google Cloud Print, Web Print and Email to Print.
  • The "Printer usage - summary" CSV report has two new fields: Printer Adhoc fields and Serial Number.
• A new payment gateway, CyberSource Secure Acceptance (SA), has been added.
  Note: The existing CyberSource Hosted Order Page (HOP) gateway has been obsoleted by Cybersource. To upgrade to CyberSource SA contact PaperCut Support.
• A user's secondary email address(es) can now be set and retrieved via either the API or the server-command tool.
• Added a global (organization-wide) page for the environmental dashboard to complement the per-user page. In addition, organizations not wishing to publish per-user environmental stats can disable the per-user page and live tiles and have the global page and tiles shown instead.
