What's new in PaperCut NG 10.1 Build 9802:

February 25th, 2010

New features:
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!

What's new in PaperCut NG 8.2.5695:

March 6th, 2008

· 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.
· 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.
· 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.
· 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.

What's new in PaperCut NG 8.0.8.1.5490:

January 11th, 2008

· 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.

What's new in PaperCut NG 8.0.5433:

December 13th, 2007
