An early Christmas present from the PaperCut Team. Version 10.7 gives us a shiny new embedded solution for Kyocera HyPAS devices (and in our opinion it is one of the most feature rich embedded options).

You also get an easier method to restricting access to colour printing, a host of new reports and watermarking/job attribution for PCL5 printer drivers, in addition to the existing PostScript support.

Full release notes below.

Full Release Notes: PaperCut MF 10.7 (Build 12373)

New features:

Enhancements:

• Novell OES: Print jobs manually canceled from iPrint queues are now automatically refunded.
• Novell OES: Improvements to cluster install notes.
• Scheduled reports can now be copied. This simplifies setting up multiple similar reports.
• Printer toner information may now be manually updated (in addition to the automatic perdiodic updates)
• Test notifications can now be sent to specific email addresses as well as by entering a username.
• The Windows release station zero-install method (“pc-release-local-cache.exe“) now automatically updates more config files each time it is launched (config.properties and client-machine-aliases.properties), simplifying deployment of multiple release stations from a central location.
• Improved retrieval of device serial numbers via SNMP by looking in some non-standard SNMP locations.
• Improved support for IPv6 when using the Windows Print Services for Unix (LPR and IPP).
• All printing based reports now have an ad hoc filter for printer groups.
• Improved logging to diagnose secondary server connection issues caused by security settings.
• Added a new API for developers and system integrators to allow querying information about the logged in user at devices. This can be used by 3rd parties to implement single sign-on using PaperCut’s authentication.
• Added a full Hebrew translation, thanks to our team in Israel.

Fixes:

• Fixed a problem editing scheduled reports with multiple email recipients which caused the recipients to be saved incorrectly.
• Fixed problem when editing scheduled reports in Excel/CSV format where date range parameters were incorrectly displayed.
• Fixed small memory leak in the Windows print provider service.
• Sensitive fields are no longer logged to the App Log when they are changed in the Config Editor (e.g. SMTP passwords).
• Windows: fixed printing order when a large number of print jobs are released at once (more than about 40 jobs).
• Improved reliability of watermarking on the HP 4100 with PostScript drivers.
• Release Station: Fixed anonymous print release for release stations running in “release any” mode.
• Release Station: Improved support for card authentication when using card header and trailer that are the same character.
• Fixed a problem setting admin rights for user group restrictions that could occur when running on a PostgreSQL database configured with certain locale/language settings.
• Fixed the Shared account print/copy/scan/fax – breakdown report to include jobs allocated to sub-accounts.
• Linux/Mac: Improved reliability of print job redirection (e.g. find-me printing) on very busy print queues.

Printer compatibility improvements:

Copier / Device Integration:

New features:

•Support for 64 bit installations of Novell OES2 Linux.
•Native support for 64 bit Linux installations (no longer requires 32 bit compatibility libraries to be installed, as well as providing unparalled scalability).
•New reports: Department printing – job type summary, Office printing – job type summary

New features:

•Re-design of the reports list: reports now include sample screenshots that show what they will look like and what kind of information they will contain.
•New reports showing printing information by paper area (useful when using the by paper area charging model): Printer usage – paper area summary and Shared account printing – paper area summary.
•Option to define a list of groups in addition to those in the network user directory via an additional-groups.txt file.
