Enhancements:

• Minor user manual improvement in the Advanced Scripting chapter.

Fixes:

• Fixed error raised when creating new scheduled reports.

• Advanced Scripting: The most powerful feature added to PaperCut yet! Advanced Scripting empowers administrators by allowing them to write scripts that execute when new jobs arrive. This opens up a whole host of possibilities such as:
  • Displaying a pop-up message if a user forgets to select duplex on large jobs.
  • Showing statistics on the environmental impact on large jobs via a fancy popup dialog.
  • Prompting the user to confirm large jobs before printing.
  • Automatically routing large jobs to more efficient high volume printers
  • ... and much much more!
• Custom printer fields: To assist with printer management, administrators can define extra metadata fields for storing ad-hoc data. These fields may represent data such as asset numbers, last date of print service, owner, details of lease arrangements, etc. Fields may also be used in reports.
• The Mac client software has been enhanced to leverage the system-wide login hook for authentication.
• This means that in some situations the PaperCut client popup authentication dialog can be eliminated, avoiding the need for users to log in twice - once for the system and then again for PaperCut.
• New report for 3rd party payment hardware: reconciliation for all devices in one report.

Enhancements:

• CSV reports with date and time representations will now be automatically recognized by popular spreadsheet applications.
• Support for monitoring locally attached printers on Novell networks. Remote queues mapped via IPP are now ignored so only locally attached printers are detected.
• The "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" virtual printer is ignored by default on secondary server installs.
• Improved documentation on how to set up PaperCut in a Novell cluster.
• Improved the PDF version of the user manual - smaller font, less paper! (But you weren't going to print it, were you?)
• Improved error message when server-command is attempted to be run with non-elevated privileges under UAC on Windows 2008/Vista.

Fixes:

• Fixed issue where the user client may in some situations consume excessive CPU if the --minimized option was turned on.
• Fixed a problem in Web Print where PDF files produced by OpenOffice may timeout with unknown error.
• Eliminated the "stale session" error that may have occurred when administrators attempted to log in using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Printer compatibility improvements:

• Improved stability when analyzing some Postscript spool files.

This is a major release. Please check the Upgrade Policy for upgrade eligibility. This release also contains a database upgrade and administrators should factor this into their upgrade plan.

New features:

• Printers may now be assigned to groups. This allows administrators to group, report and manage printers by any attribute. Groups are administrator-defined and can include classes such as type, make, physical location and work area amongst others.
• The user client software has moved out of the 1990's and into 2010 with a graphic and GUI effects makeover. It now sits nicely with the "glassy" look found in modern operating systems.
• Our team of developers in Japan have been busy and this release includes a full Japanese translation - both the end-user and administrator interfaces. Japanese is the 20th non-English language now supported in PaperCut. Welcome to our growing user base in Japan!
• On Windows systems common/popular virtual printers such as PDF writers and virtual faxes are now ignored from monitoring by default. This change will assist organizations supporting locally attached printers by minimizing custom configuration required to ignore virtual printers found on desktop systems.

Enhancements:

• Improved admin login speed when multiple admins login simultaneously.
• Various documentation improvements including areas such as Web Print, clustering, SSL key generation and Find Me Printing.
• Improvements to Find Me Printing and load balancing to handle a mix of color and grayscale physical printers. Now if the destination physical printer is configured as a "Grayscale Printer" all jobs released to this printer will be logged and charged as grayscale.
• Find Me Printing with web based release: when there is only one target queue when releasing a job, the queue is no longer automatically selected. This is important in some cases to provide the user information about where their job is going.
• Users' balance is no longer displayed in the Jobs Pending Release section of the user web interface if users are not allowed to view their balance.
• Improved error reporting when using server-command or the XML web services APIs.
• Fixed problem with Web Print when the maximum upload size was set to exactly 2048MB.
• Improved support for Windows 64-bit systems via the updated 64-bit add-on pack.
• Updated 3rd party libraries and components providing improved performance and reliability.
• Streamlined the initial setup wizard by removing the module selection step. This step was redundant for the majority of organizations.
• Various improvements to debug logging to assist diagnosing problems.

Fixes:

• Fixed problem in Web Print that could allow two instances of the Web Print process to run simultaneously. This would result in subtle problems and confusing behavior.
• Mac/Linux: Fixed issue where administrator printer error notifications may not have worked with CUPS print queues.
• Improved robustness of submitting Web Print jobs when the system clocks of the primary server and sandbox server are significantly skewed or in different timezones.
• Fixed error when creating and enabling new shared accounts based on a disabled template account.
• Improved integration with Mac print queues to avoid sending multiple print notifications to the application server.
• Linux: Improved reliability of print job canceling/refunding when jobs fail to print using CUPS printer classes on old versions of CUPS.
• Mac: Addressed permissions issue on the server log directory that may result in new logs not being created in selected situations.

Printer compatibility improvements:

• Improved page counting on OKI CXXXX series printers using PCL5 drivers when printing in duplex.
