• Fixed an install issue seen on Apple Mac secondary print servers.
• Minor documentation improvements.

New Features:

• Native support for iPrint queues on Novell OES Linux. For more information see the associated news item.
• New "Internal Users" feature. This feature allows managing a set of users in addition to those in the configured user directory. It can be used for managing guest users (who may not have a domain account), or in organizations without a directory server.
• New client authentication feature allowing authentication to be remembered forever.
• Allow very large account lists to be efficiently distributed to remote sites with slow network connections.
• New shared account invoice report to display the detailed print logs allocated to each account.
• Allow display of a custom currency sign/symbol. This is useful in organizations using a currency different to their standard national currency.

  • Allow changes to be applied to a subset of accounts based on the account name.
  • Allow modifying the account security settings for multiple accounts at once.
  • Allow accounts to be deleted in bulk.
• Large performance improvements viewing print logs and running print reports for sites using the default/internal database. The database settings are now better optimized for database queries that run over large datasets.
• Reduce the amount of client account data downloaded by the client by 25 to 30 times. This could dramatically speed up the loading of accounts over slow network connections.
• Improved support for Mac OS X when users have multiple "short names".
• Improved performance and reduced server resource usage when the users client downloads large account lists.
• Improved performance when modifying shared account security settings on many (10's of thousands) accounts at once.
• Improved performance of retrieving members of a group from LDAP. This also reduces the number of concurrent connections to the LDAP server.
• Added a new print charging model to charge by "Paper length". This can be used as an alternative to paper area charging for large format plotters.
• Allowed the 'initial creation rules' to be re-applied to either a single user or a group of users. This can be done through the user interface and server-command tool.
• Improved the display and layout of the Shared Accounts list displayed in the end-user web pages.
• Mac/Linux: Automatically populate LDAP settings during installation.
• Added a username filter to the account transactions page, making it easier to find transactions for a given user.
• Improved support for complex domain hierarchies by following "referrals" sent by Active Directory.
• Improved documentation for creating and installing SSL certificates.
• Added new server-command and web services API to list all shared accounts and the shared accounts available to a given user.
• Improved the client launcher "pc-client-local-cache.exe" to more aggressively retry starting the client when problems occur.
• Improved setup/install documentation by adding a separate section for each platform.
• Linux: Add an uninstall script to automate the uninstallation process.
• Updated translations for Portuguese, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Spanish, Italian and Czech.

  Fixes:

• Fixed a problem that could stop printing notification messages to be delivered to user clients under some circumstances.
• Fixed a rare problem that could stop a job from appearing in the release station. This problem could only occur when the release station timeout was set to a very long period.
• Improved reliability of the print popup notifications when the user does not exist in PaperCut and needs to identify themselves using the client tool's identity dialog.
• Improved security of the client identity dialog which is displayed when the logged in user does not exist in PaperCut.
• Fixed an error that could occur on the printer charts and statistics page.
• Improved support for processing very large spool files (greater than 1.5 GB) on Windows.
• Improved reliability of page-level color detection of very large images in PCL print jobs.
• Improved reliability and error reporting during scheduled quota allocations.

  Page counting improvements:

• New report options allow reports to be run over ranges defined down to the second.
• Added search to the online help documentation.

  Performance and Scalability:

  This release includes significant performance and scalability improvements, particularly for sites with a large number of users:

• Significantly reduced the memory required to import a large number of users. It is now possible to import hundreds of thousands of users on a machine with limited memory.
• Optimized adding new users on demand (i.e. when a user first prints). PaperCut would previously use too much memory and CPU resources when adding a new user on systems with thousands of users.
• Reworked the database locking code resulting in improved performance under very high load.
• Large speed improvements and reduced CPU usage (up to 1000% on large networks) when retrieving large number of users from Active Directory.
• Improved speed of admin login and display of the user list screen.
• New SQL Server driver configuration that removes Unicode overhead and allows more effective use of indexes.
• Large speed improvements when performing initial user import on a SQL Server database. The import process was modified to allow SQL Server to dynamically create index statistics, resulting in improved import speed.
• Optimized "Bulk User Actions" when adjusting/setting user balances which improves performance by 30%.
• Optimized the "batch-import-user-card-id-numbers" server-command to improve performance when updating large batches of users.
• Reduce the thread priority of report generation. This ensures that running large reports do not impact on other parts of the system.

  Enhancements:

• Improved reliability of print popup notifications and message delivery to the user client on systems with multiple network interfaces and IP addresses (multi-homed systems).
• New paper size filter option added to the print logs screen.
• Option to copy printer color detection settings between printers.
• Added a new "noquit" command-line and config file option that prevents users closing/quitting the client.
• Improved audit logging records actions such as when:
  • TopUp/Prepaid card batches are deleted or expired.
  • Configuration settings are changed using the "Config Editor".
• Added more filters to the user list screen and reports (e.g. min/max balance, restriction, office, department and notes).
• Added short-cut keys to the software Release Station which provides improved accessibility to vision impaired users.
• Intelligently shorten the printer names in the printer usage charts so that long printer names are not truncated.
• Added improved support creating TopUp/Prepaid card with Office 2007.
• Increase the bulk user import file size limit to 100MB, to allow for large imports.
• Added an option to always use the "Global email suffix", even when the user record already has an email address defined.
• Net Control: Improved algorithm for checking if a sites is in the ignored domains list. Some customers populated the ignored domains list with 50,000+ hosts and this caused the Internet Control service to run at 100% CPU. The new algorithm can handle this number of hosts with minimal CPU usage.
• Additional information is display in the user client task tray tool tip.
• Upgrade to the latest version of the internal Apache Derby database. This release improves performance on multi-processor systems and provides improved reliability.
• Running "db-tools init-db -f" when using the internal database will backup and re-create the database from scratch.
• Various documentation improvements including more sections to assist administrators with producing their own handouts to educate users about Topup/Prepaid cards, print refunds and using release stations.
• Updated translations for Portuguese, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Czech, and Swedish.

  Fixes:

• Improved the display of the user client balance window when the display is configured for "Large Fonts (120 dpi)" on Windows.
• We have seen a number of cases of duplicate users/printers appearing in the databases. We have made a number of changes to avoid this from occurring. If a duplicate users are detected they are handled gracefully and automatically removed.
• Do not hide the user client balance window when the user can select "Shared Accounts" but printing costs are deducted from their personal balance.
• Fixed problem normalizing usernames that come from external systems like Novell print queues.
• Fixed error that could occur drawing the user's balance history graph in some circumstances.
• Mac: Fix auto-restart of the user client on OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
• When the license expires allow administrators to access the "Options" section so they can perform limited administration tasks (e.g. backups, reduce user counts, etc).
• Improved how Topup/Prepaid card numbers are generated to ensure no "bad" words can be produced.
• Improved sorting of groups displayed from an external source (like Active Directory). This makes it easier to find groups when there are thousands in the list.
• When "Print All" is selected in the release station, do not print any jobs unless the user has credit for all jobs.
• Improved compatibility with Opera web browser.
• Linux: Improved reliability of installation of CUPS integration components.
• Net Control: Improved Microsoft ISA log processing for SSL/HTTPS traffic. Previously SSL/HTTPS downloads would be charged even if the site was in the "ignored hosts" list.
• Improve reliability of importing ChargeBack 6.x and earlier account databases.

  Page counting improvements:

• Improved color detection for HP Business Inkjet 1200.
• Added Apple Mac support for the EPSON Stylus Pro 4880C (and other drivers using the CUPS raster format).
• Fixed standard mode color detection for the HP Designjet T610.
• Improved support for the Apple Mac Gutenprint drivers.

• Improved page count detection for Canon LBP5900 LIPSLX driver.
• Improved page count detection reported with recent Xerox Phaser 7400DN Postscript drivers when printing from Adobe applications.

This release fixes some problems found with version 8.2 (Build 5695) and provides improved support for some printers.

Fixes:

• Fix a problem with the user client that would allow the user to close it even through it was required for printing.
• Improved reliability of importing account data from PaperCut ChargeBack 6 (or earlier) when the account names include TAB characters.

  Page counting improvements:

• Improved copy count detection for HP LaserJet 4700dn.
• Improved copy count detection for RISO HC5500.
• Improved page size detection size detection for KIP 5000.

New features:

• Add improved support and completed compatibility testing for Windows Server 2008.
• Implemented intelligent handling of selected printer monitoring error conditions. PaperCut has a fail-open design by default ensuring that printing will continue uninterrupted on events such as an application server or network failure. However this was not ideal for some situations where a fail-closed (deny on failure) may be preferred. The behavior on error can now be configured to suit the site's need. There are now 3 options to choose from:
• On error print all but held jobs - if an error occurs for jobs are held awaiting release from a release queue or client popup they will continue to be held until connection to the application server is re-established. New print jobs will be allowed to print unhindered. (New default behavior).
• On error print - under any error condition allow the job to print (Previous default behavior).
• On error hold - under any error condition hold the job and continue to hold until the connection with the application server is re-established.

  This new default behavior greatly improves printer monitoring reliability on sites that make use of print hold/release queues or account selection popups.

• Add a new "server-command" to import/update card/identity numbers and PINs from a file.
• Added on option to mandate that the user must select a "Charge Rate" in the advanced account selection popup. To take advantage of this feature, the clients must be upgraded.

  Enhancements:

• Greatly improved scalability for sites running hold/release queues with hundreds of print jobs being held at once.
• In the setup wizard and user/group sync page, allow the group lists to be expanded to show very long group names.
• The installer now automatically adds firewall exceptions for important PaperCut in-bound ports. This streamlines out-of-the-box setup on firewall enabled Windows systems.
• Provide a "Select all" option on the "Copy settings from printer to printer" screen. This greatly improved usability when copying settings to hundreds of printers.
• Display a warning when setting a user to "unauthenticated" to indicate that the client software is required.
• Do not monitor Citrix printers re-mapped from the client session.
• Mac: Display the printer's friendly name when enabling/disabling printers using the Control Printer Monitoring script.
• When a printer is re-enabled, record the change in the application log.
• Various documentation improvements including a new section to assist administrators with producing their own handouts to educate users about various aspects of print monitoring/control.
• Display a browser "favicon" when accessing the application in a web browser.
• When running the standard release station in "Release Any" mode, do not prompt the user for confirmation if the print job is zero cost.
• Updated translations for Portuguese, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Czech, and Swedish.

  Fixes:

• When retrieving users and group information from Active Directory can be a resource intensive process. This now runs as a low priority task to ensure it does not adversly affect other applications.
• Fixed a race-condition that may have prevented the printer error monitoring feature from working on some systems.
• Fixed problem with client authentication popup when the username contained uppercase characters.
• Clarified some wording on the "Shared Account Invoice Report".
• Ensure that card/identity numbers are unique when updated using the "server-command" or web service APIs.
• Fixed a problem that stopped the "add-new-shared-account" server-command from working correctly.
• Fixed a problem with multi-domain support for Active Directory if spaces appeared between the configured domains.
• When disabling multi-domain support for Active Directory also disable the use of multi-domains for authentication.
• Fixed most frequent crash errors as reported via the "report error" screen.
• Allow more flexible use of the regular expressions to normalize usernames.
• Sort the "printer usage summary by user" report by username when using the PostgreSQL database.
• Net Control: When users were enabled/disabled using the "Bulk User Actions" screen, their "Internet Group" membership was not updated.

  Security:

• Fixed a CSRF security vulnerability in the end-user web pages. This issue is considered a low risk and only affects customers with the end-user transfer feature enabled. Thanks to James from Personal Service Society Incorporated for bringing this to our attention.

  Page counting improvements:

• Add support for the HP LaserJet P1505n (and other P1500 series printers)
• Improve duplex detection for the Xerox Phaser 7300.
• Improved duplex detection for the OKI C7300.
• Improved page count detection for the Konica Minolta bizhub PRO 1050.
• Fixed page count detection when printing to a HP LaserJet 4700dn from an Apple Mac.

Fixed a problem where print jobs could time-out early when both the client popup authentication and release/hold queues are in use. This would occur if the user is using the authentication popup and does not release the job from the release station within 10 minutes.

New features:

• In the software release station, allow the administrator to enable both username/password and card authentication simultaneously.
• Internet Control: Added an option to allow the Internet security group to be populated with users without Internet access. This allows the administrator to invert the previously default behavior (i.e. to include denied users instead of allowed users). Depending on the existing proxy server rules, it is may be more convenient to use a "Deny" rule rather than an "Allow" rule.

  Enhancements:

• Provide better user feedback when users release/cancel jobs from the software release station. The screen will automatically be updated to show that the job has started printing (or been cancelled).
• Improved the reliability of delivering printing notifications to the PaperCut user client, when the machine name associated with the print job does not match the machine name reported by the user client.
• Improved handling of jobs that are manually removed from the print queues (e.g. cancelled/deleted by an administrator). These jobs will then be automatically removed from the PaperCut hold/release queues.
• On Mac and Linux, when PaperCut is installed, add the PaperCut binary directory to the PATH to simplify running the command line tools.
• On Mac, improved print account popup speed for Epson printers.
• Clarified error messages output by the database restore process.
• Improved interaction with LDAP servers to reduce the number of LDAP connections used when performing a user/group sync.
• Included the PaperCut version number on the page that is displayed when an error occurs.
• Improve the reliability of the installer when the server name and/or IP address cannot be determined.
• Updated translations for Swedish, French, Spanish and Chinese.

  Fixes:

• Fixed a problem where print jobs could time-out early when both the client popup and release/hold queues are in use. This would occur if the user is using the popup and does not release the job from the release station within 10 minutes.
• Fixed the real-time notification of balance updates to the user client when using client popup authentication when logged with a user with uppercase characters in their username.
• Fixed a problem when synchronizing the group members from AD/LDAP prior to a quota allocation. This could stop future sync operations from running.
• Fixed an error that occurred when running the "Group internet usage - summary (ad-hoc)" report if no "From Date" is specified.
• Suppressed a harmless error message that would appear in the server log file when a notification message could not be delivered to a client.
• Fixed a spelling error in the TopUp/Prepaid card wizard.
• Various documentation improvements.

  Page counting improvements:

• Added basic support for the HP PSC 1300 series (and similar printers).
• Improved page count detection for duplex print jobs on PCL6-based printers.
• Fixed the copy count detection for the OKI C8800 Postscript driver.
• Improved paper size detection for the OKI C8800 PCL driver.
• Improved page count detection for the Canon C3200 Mac driver.
• Improved duplex detection for the Kyocera FS-C5025N on Mac.

Fixed a problem seen on some Windows XP desktops where the client software would report an annoying "End Now?" dialog on logout or system shutdown. The problem was caused by a 3rd party component.

Special Notes:
This is a major release. This release also contains a database upgrade and administrators should factor this into their upgrade plan.

New features:

• Added group-based printer restrictions allowing administrators to restrict the use of a printer to a group or set of groups. This is particularly useful on Mac servers, as OS X server does not have in-built group-based access controls.
• Added a new account selection mode to automatically charge a user's print jobs to a single shared account. This is useful when a user works in a single department or project, as it automates account selection and removes the need to display the popup and run the client software.
• Admin rights may now be assigned at the group level in addition to individual users. This offers more convenient management on sites with a large number of administrators.
• Full support for Apple Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) on both the server and the client.
• PaperCut now supports Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) offering an alternate clustering option in addition to Microsoft Clustering services.
• Added new admin access controls (ACLs) to limit management tasks such as Pre-Paid card management and refunding of print jobs.
• A new set of transaction based reports providing detailed listing and summary of transaction types and amounts.
• Enhanced user account synchronization allowing users' card/identity numbers to be automatically imported/updated from fields in Active Directory or LDAP.
• The Internet Control module now supports Squid proxy server running directly on Max OSX.
• Mac and Linux base systems can now be configured to run as a "secondary Internet Control server".
• Improve the format of various CSV reports to make them easier to use.
• Much improved documentation covering Apple Mac setup including deployment on Leopard and using the Workgroup Manager to publish printers.
• ... and many more features and improvements since the release of version 7.

• Improved default notification messages delivered to users when their printing is denied.
• Updated system runtime libraries to improve performance and stability.
• Add a web-service API and server-command operation to query the status of a previously started task (e.g. a user sync or backup running in the background).
• Add a web-service API and server-command to retrieve the print job and page counts.
• Added example shell scripts that make use of the "server-command" functionality.
• Improved support for non-compliant LDAP servers (e.g. OpenLDAP 2.2.13).
• Improved support for Arabic languages in PDF reports.

New major features:

• Admin alerts. Administrators can now choose to be notified via email (or SMS if you have an email-SMS gateway) on the following events:
  • Printer errors - be notified when a printer goes into error. For example when there is a paper jam or the printer is out of toner. This feature allows administrators to be aware of issues faster, rather than waiting for an irate user to complain.
  • Error level events - if PaperCut encounters an error the details will be logged to the 'App. Log' tab, the log file, and now optionally sent out via email. This feature allows administrators to be aware of errors sooner, such as problems communicating with the directory server.
  • License notifications - this can be used to notify interested parties when there is a licensing issue, such as exceeding the licensed user count.

  New minor features:

• Add print job comments and some other information into reports that show print logs.

• Fix the substitutions (e.g. username, job cost, etc) in the release station notification messages.
• Fix LDAP problems when the Base DN setting contains spaces or unusual characters.
• Allow files large than 1 MB to be uploaded (e.g. import files), and fix problems encountered when defining many PaperCut adminstrators.
• Various reporting fixes and improvements.
• Various documentation improvements.
• Updated translations Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish.
• Added Slovak translation for end user pages and user client.
• Added Korean translation for the user client.

This release contains the following changes:

• Added the ability to schedule reports. This feature allows reports to be automatically generated and emailed to a list of recipients. More information is available in the user manual.
• The report naming scheme has been revised to ensure they are consistent and give a good idea as to what they will look like.
• Modified the zero-install method of the user client tool and standalone release station. They now locally cache the application data, only updating it when required. As before this ensures that the software is always up to date, but now also keeps bandwidth use to a minimum (like a local installation). Sites already using the zero-install method should consider reviewing login scripts to make use of the new caching features.
• Added the ability to automatically purge old log data. On large sites with high traffic usage, the database can become large. In cases where old log data is not required, it can now be automatically deleted.
• Added a new method to launch the user client on Mac systems (via a login hook, but doesn't restart when quit).
• Added new server-command and web services calls: use-card (to use a pre-paid / top-up card), adjust-user-account-balance-by-group-up-to (adjust the account balance for all users in a group, but only up to a certain limit).
• Added a bulk user operation for adjusting balance but not beyond a set limit.
• Added web services example code for Ruby, and updated the examples and documentation for the other examples.
• Added some visual effects in the web interface.
• Streamlined install process of user client on non-domain networks. The client will now confirm your network identity after a local install. This makes setups easier in environments where users log in with a username different to their network identity.
• Fixed issue where running certain ad-hoc reports directly after running another ad-hoc report would result in the settings for the previous report to be displayed.
• Prevented some system accounts from MS Exchange Server being imported into PaperCut as user accounts.
• Updated translations for Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish.
• Changes specific to the print control module:
  • Added duplex detection for the Canon iR C3220.
  • Added custom page size detection for the Canon Image PROGRAF IPF-8000 wide-format printer.
  • Additional customization ability in the release station - the field orders and column widths can now be changed, and several other visual customizations were added.
  • More improvements to the account selection popup to ensure it always pops up on top of other windows, and that it is focused for input.
  • Minor performance improvements when processing PostScript documents.
  • Fixed issue with page level color detection for Adobe InDesign documents on PostScript print queues.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the progress window for the account sync and import not to display on IE.
  • Fixed bug that caused charge rates not to be taken into account when the user charges to their personal account.
  • Fixed a display bug where the charge rates for a shared account weren't displayed when accessing the page in a certain way.

This release contains the following changes:

• Fixed problem with database upgrade that would occur if upgrading from a version prior to 7.1 (Build 4550).

This release contains the following changes:

• Added a printer filter to deny print jobs based on the number of copies.
• Fixed an issue where some common errors such as network timeouts or corrupt print jobs would be reported many times. This could cause a delay in the processing of print jobs, and in some situations crash the application server.
• Greatly improved memory usage when running PaperCut with PostgreSQL. This was a workaround for bad PostgreSQL driver defaults that used far too much memory, and was causing online backups to fail on large databases.
• Added and improved warning messages when performing dangerous actions, such as shutting down the server while an upgrade is in progress, and changing the user authentication source after the system is set up.
• Fixed user import problems when a group or org unit contained backslashes.
• Fixed support for using domain filters with upstream proxy servers on ISA server in the internet control module.
• Added a command-line option to delete old log data.
• Fixed an issue where the 'shared account print summary' report displayed user accounts as well.
• Miscellaneous changes to support recent Canon drivers.
• General performance improvements when under very high load.

This release contains the following changes:

• Added multi-domain support for Active Directory. PaperCut can now import users from multiple AD domains without the need for workarounds, such as the use of 'nested groups'.
• Improved the reliability and performance of tracking print jobs during intermittent network failure.
• Improved performance and lowered memory requirements when running large reports.
• Changed the method used to launch the web browser when clicking on a URL in the user client tool. Previously 'cmd.exe' was used, to which access is often blocked on restricted systems.
• Improved the importing of shared accounts from a file when the file contained some unusual data.
• Fixed bug that prevented reports from being run in some Asian locales.
• Fixed display issues with CSV reports in some Asian locales.
• Fixed some page counting issues with PDFs printed from Adobe Acrobat 8 with some printer drivers.
• Filter out invalid characters in usernames. An issue was seen where an LDAP server returned usernames with invalid characters.
• Fixed problem on Mac when an IPP based connection was used between the server and the printer.
• Added support for Samsung CLP-X printer drivers.
• Various documentation improvements.
• Translation updates for German, Spanish and Chinese.
• Correctly display Portuguese translations for Portugal.
