22 November 2017 - PaperCut MF 17.4.1
Enhancements:
-
Ricoh (SmartSDK):
- Support for Integrated Scanning. The all-in-one intuitive user interface provides a consistent and seamless experience.
- Support for USB tracking.
- Support for customizing the logo, and more.
For more information, see the Copier / Device Integration section for Ricoh (SmartSDK).
-
Mobility Print:
- Support for Linux and macOS environments by the Mobility Print server.
- DNS setup is even easier with a new improved workflow in the Mobility Print Admin interface to help you configure DNS-SD.
-
Windows Print Provider: Added an option to change print queue error monitoring to SNMP (ErrorPollMethod=snmp in print-provider.conf). This speeds up the time on Fast Release Stations, Standard Release Stations and all web-based Release Station interfaces to:
- block the release of print jobs when a print queue is in error, and
- stop blocking the release when the print queue is no longer in an error state.
- Improved the wording of the "Make shared account/PIN code visible" security options in the Account Options area on the Options > General page.
- Web Print Sandbox mode security**: The confg key that controls document macros is now disabled by default (web-print.disable-macros).
- Basque translations are now available for Ricoh (SDK/J) version 6.0.4 and the PaperCut MF User web interface.
Fixes:
- Mac and Linux: Fixed an issue where the printer toner level, model, and serial number was not updated on the Printer Details page for printers using some Xerox drivers.
- Windows Print Provider: Fixed a rare issue that caused Print Provider to crash if PDL transforms were enabled.
- Microsoft Applications on Windows 10: Fixed a rare issue that caused print jobs not to be tracked when printing to Windows servers with server side rendering, when Hide Document Names have been activated.
- HP printers on a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 print server: Fixed an occasional issue that caused an incorrect number of pages to be reported when printing multiple copies.
- Fixed an issue preventing device license numbers on the About page from updating after adding a new device.
Copier / Device Integration:
- PaperCut MF now supports HP FutureSmart 4+ Single Function Printers (SFP), offering a simplified setup that doesn't require manual deployment of the embedded solution on the device. Note: Existing HP FutureSmart licenses can be used for the new HP FutureSmart 4+ SFPs. However, if you do not have an existing HP FutureSmart license, you can purchase a lower-cost SFP license.
- Added support for models with high resolution (1024 x 768) screens.
