January 22, 2024

Enhancements:

HP PaperCut Hive embedded provides easier access for admins to login to device with device admin credentials with embedded app installed.

Previously for HP, Hive embedded app had to be removed from the device to access the device admin/maintenance login. Now, we have introduced a way of accessing the device admin login without removing or uninstalling the HP embedded app.

The new way introduces the ‘Sign In’ button on the Hive login page that makes it easy to access it without having to interact with Hive embedded app. If you are in logging in with device admin credentials and want to access Hive embedded app, make sure to log out of device admin first before logging into Hive as failing to do so will lead to unexpected behaviour.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue when printing to Xerox Altalink devices when using the Raw 9100 print delivery method which caused print jobs to also appear as copy jobs in the PaperCut Hive job log.

December 18, 2023

These characters in the file name now get automatically deleted before the file is delivered. For the cloud destinations where Integrated Scanning supports creating folders (OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Shared Google Drive) from the Quick Scan job, the forward slashes and backslashes will still continue to be used to create folder levels, while the other unsupported characters will be deleted. [SC-2102]

  • Release of Direct Print Tracking into Open Beta (Available within Easy Print & Scan > Print Tracking). PaperCut Pocket & Hive now has the ability to optionally track details of print jobs sent directly to printers without the use of Secure Release. This gives the flexibility to provide both Secure Print Release and Direct Printing to users while not losing tracking visbility of any printing.

May 02, 2022

Fixes:

Fixed a bug on the Job Log and the Job Log CSV export for copy jobs with number of copies greater than 1.

Printer brands affected: Sharp, Toshiba, Fuji Xerox and Xerox.

The bug was multiplying the number of copies by itself and showing them as pages, that is, a copy job with 2 copies was showing a total of 4 pages, and 3 copies was showing 9. This was affecting the number of pages on the job detail tab’s “What” section > “Pages Total” and its subitems “Color” and “BW”. On the CSV export it was affecting the columns pagesPrintedColor, pagesPrintedBw, pagesPrintedTotal. The problem was in the Job Log database query - not the Job Log data itself. So all past data is now reported correctly. [SC-1138]
