    • Support for per job authentication. Per job authentication mode enforces authentication for every print job.
    • Support for subnet based printer filtering. This allows you to provide visibility to a subset of printers depending on a user’s subnet.
    • Support for Mobility Print on private cloud.
    • Support for .local domains to simplify configuration on macOS and iOS platforms.
  • For more detailed information about bug fixes, see Mobility Print Release Notes.
• Watermarking and digital signatures: Watermarking and digital signatures are powerful capabilities that enhance printing security by allowing identification of the source of any printed document. Enhancements to the existing functionality include:
  • The addition of full page watermarking for PCL6 and PostScript print jobs. This allows you to print a repeating watermark across the entire page, making it impossible for someone to remove it without destroying the document. Note: If you have secondary servers (Print Providers), you must upgrade them all for this functionality to work.
  • The default text used in the printed watermark now includes the %signature% variable. This prints a digital signature on each page, which can be used to identify the exact job in the job log.
• Secure Print / Find-Me configuration: Enhancements to Secure Print and Find-Me now make it easier to find printers and get your configuration right the first time. Changes include:
  • Added the ability to filter the source queue list by printer name on the Create Device page and Device Details page.
  • The source queue list on the Create Device page and Device Details page now groups queues by Virtual with Hold/Release, Physical with Hold/Release, and No Hold/Release.
  • The Secure Print Release and Find-Me settings on the Device Details page are now contained in a separate Print Release section.
  • Added the ability to filter the Find-Me destination queue list based on the print queue name on the Device Details page.
  • Improved the clarity and detail of error messages displayed when Job Redirection is not configured correctly.
  • Ability to copy Job Redirection Settings from one printer to another.
• HSTS: Support for HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), forcing browsers to connect only via HTTPS.
• Web Print: Improved performance when printing multiple copies of a document. Web Print now collates all copies into a single print job resulting in less network traffic, decreased load on the Application Server, and faster printing time. Note: You must upgrade ALL Web Print Sandbox servers in your organization for this functionality to work. For more details, click here.
• The What’s Next gadget on the Admin web interface dashboard can now be hidden.
• Improved database performance when user accounts are retrieved. This speeds up a range of functions such as logging in and printing.

• Linux systemd systems: Now automatically allow a sufficient number of files to be opened, which means less manual configuration for larger implementations.
• PCL6 driver: Fixed an issue causing an incorrect page count when duplex printing from Internet Explorer.
• Canon LBP842C: Fixed an iOS printing issue that caused an incorrect page count.
• Epson SC-T7200D ESC/P2 driver: Improved page count accuracy on macOS print servers.
• Watermarking with PCL6 drivers: Fixed an issue where “Bottom of page” watermarking on landscape pages did not print.
• Mac and Linux: Removed an unnecessary error message when running some command line scripts.
• iOS printing: Fixed an issue preventing printing from iOS devices after upgrading the print server to macOS 10.12 (Sierra).
