New Features

• Site Server: Customers with multi-site deployments often consider printing redundancy and resilience as a high priority. In the event of network outages, print queues and MFDs can now utilize a Site Server to deliver business continuity including support for Print Release and Find-Me Printing. All this can be achieved without losing the benefits of central administration. The Site Server is the first major server component added to PaperCut since secondary print server support in 2006. It is the culmination of 6 months development and system re-architecture. Not just intended for multi-site organizations, the Site Server also can be used to add redundancy in private cloud setups, or isolate areas of a local network to improve resilience.
• A New Look: Not technically new functionality, but customers will notice something a little different! Changes to the logo and PaperCut ‘green’ touch every part of the product.

Enhancements

• PaperCut Global Print Driver: PaperCut’s Global Print Driver now supports deployment to 32-bit workstations from 64-bit servers.
• Simplified Conversion from PaperCut NG: Simplified the conversion to PaperCut MF from PaperCut NG. The installer now automatically upgrades and imports all your data and settings.
• Scalability improvements:
  • Performance improvements for sites running a very large number of secondary print servers.
  • Reduced the load the desktop clients have on the server when the PaperCut Server is re-started.

  • Resolved a low-level XSS security risk in a third-party JavaScript library.
  • Changes to the network API used by the user client to minimize information leaks.
• Admin Access Restrictions: Added the ability to restrict an admin’s access to assigned printer groups (including printers and print logs). This enhances support for multi-tenancy.
• Novell iPrint: If the PaperCut Print Provider is installed on a workstation, it is now able to determine which queues on the workstation are direct queues (and track them), and which queues are iPrint server-hosted queues (and ignore them).
• RBS WorldPay Payment Gateway: It is now possible to specify a merchant code to uniquely identify PaperCut transactions.
• Advanced PDL transform: Added an “inline copies” command to PDL transform language to create a multiple-copies effect.
