Copier / Device Integration:

• Canon Gen3+ (MEAP) (version 1.0.0)*:

  • PaperCut MF now provides a new solution for supported Canon MEAP 3 rd generation devices. This solution offers job tracking, secure print release, Integrated Scanning, the ability to allocate accounts, and change print jobs settings at the device.

Other Notes:

• If you are running v19.0.1, there is NO database upgrade.

Fix:

• Fixed an issue introduced in 19.0.0 that prevented the release of print jobs that were in the hold/release queue at the time of upgrading.

  If you have a version earlier than 19.0.0, you can upgrade at any time and your print jobs will be retained and releasable.

  If you have installed 19.0.0 or 19.0.1, we recommend upgrading outside of business hours to minimize the impact of lost jobs.

• Database Schema for SQL server: Updated the database so SQL server can accept and store special characters from character sets other than Latin (for example, characters with umlauts or accents, .Arabic characters etc.). A database update is required.

  Important: SQL Server Express has a maximum database size limit of 10 GB and upgrading requires some free memory.

Other Notes:

• This release includes a database upgrade.
• * Requires installing an updated version of the embedded software to access new features and fixes.
• ** Requires locally-installed User Clients to be updated.

New Features:

• Google Cloud Directory (G Suite and Google Cloud Identity):

  • Sync users from Google Cloud Directory, which supports both G Suite and Google Cloud Identity.
  • Users can now authenticate using their Google credentials on all PaperCut interfaces.
  • Google Cloud Directory can be configured as either a primary or secondary sync source, and is fully compatible to run alongside another sync source such as Active Directory, giving administrators a flexible migration path.
  • You can now configure a ‘Sign in with Google’ button to display on the User web interface, Admin web interface and Mobility Print on Chromebooks. This lets users sign in to PaperCut MF without retyping their credentials.

• Mobility Print on Chromebooks: Users can now click a ‘Sign in with Google’ button instead of typing their credentials.

• Integrated Scanning:

  • Text-searchable documents in the public percolator for OCR:
    • Users can now create text-searchable documents from any type of Scan Action, to easily find important information in a document. DOCX and PDF text-searchable outputs are supported.
    • Added the ability for Scan Actions that create text-searchable documents to automatically detect French, German, and Spanish languages. Detection of multiple languages in the same document is supported. Note: An active Premium Upgrade Assurance (PUA) subscription is required to use this feature.

• Change print job settings on Kyocera: The ability to change the settings of held print jobs is now available on Kyocera devices.

Enhancements:

• Installation: When installing PaperCut MF, you can now skip the step to select a user/group sync source and configure that separately later. This speeds up the installation.

• Integrated Scanning:

  • Added the ability to start a new scan job from the Scan More or Finish screen, retaining the current scan job’s settings and account selection attributes.

    This applies to:

    • Fuji Xerox ApeosPort V+
    • HP (OXP)
    • Xerox (EIP 3.0+)
    • Toshiba (e-Bridge Open Platform V3+)

  • Added the ability to configure (on the Admin web interface Scan Actions page) up to three output file types that a user can choose from at the MFD.

  • Some of PaperCut MF’s advanced Integrated Scanning features, such as Scan to Cloud Storage and creating text searchable documents, make use of “PaperCut Cloud Services”. Document processing in the cloud takes away the hassle of managing the performance of local infrastructure.

    Note: An active Premium Upgrade Assurance (PUA) subscription is required to use this feature.

• Security:

  • Port 9195: PaperCut MF now supports both self-signed and CA-signed SSL/ HTTPS SHA2 certificates on port 9195.

    This applies to:

    • Konica Minolta (OpenAPI)
    • Sindoh (OpenAPI)

  • Port 80: Tightened security on port 80 when used for payment gateways to ensure unnecessary information is not included in the http header.

  • Site Server: You can now specify a list of IP addresses or subnets that are allowed to submit information to the PaperCut MF Application Server. This is configured in Options > Advanced > Security section (or using the auth.site.allowed-addresses config key).

• Admin web interface: In ‘Options’ there is now a ‘Tools’ tab. The Tools page lists all of the third-party systems that PaperCut MF directly integrates with.

• Web services API:

  • getPrinterProperty() now supports a ‘printer-id’ option, which is also available via the server-command utility. This option improves the usefulness of the health monitoring API.
  • getSharedAccountProperty() now supports an ‘account-id’ option, which is also available via the server-command utility. This option is useful when setting the printer property advanced-config.override-no-popup-charge-shared-id using setPrinterPropertyMethod().

Fixes:

• Security:

  • It is no longer possible to log in to the Site Server using the locally defined Admin credentials. Admin credentials from the PaperCut MF Application Server must be used.

  • the server command permanently-redact-user-data has been enhanced to redact the Document Names of cancelled or expired print jobs on the Job Logs page.

• Security: When a print server is detected as being offline, all its held print jobs (pending release) can now be hidden, to prevent them from being released during the outage. For more information about this feature and how to enable it, contact PaperCut Support.

• Linux and macOS (CUPS): Added more options to the configure-cups script when run from the terminal (list all available printers, add or remove individual printers).**

Fixes:

• Fuji Xerox PostScript drivers: Fixed an issue with some drivers that caused an incorrect page count when multiple pages were printed on a single sheet of paper (n-up printing).**
• PostScript drivers: Fixed an issue in the print-provider.log file that sometimes incorrectly logged an “Unsupported image compression” error.**
• Fixed an issue that caused some discrepancies in the Environmental Dashboard’s “Usage This Month” graph when including December 2017 Job Logs that were edited in January 2018.
• Site Servers: Fixed an issue that caused Site Servers with low system resources or running many embedded devices to frequently switch to offline mode even when the connection to the Application Server was available.
