PaperCut NG 19.1.1 (Build 51950)

New Features

• Print Deploy
  Get the right print driver and right print queue to the right person in the right location, automatically. With Print Deploy:
  • Print queues are dynamically deployed as mobile staff move between branches, stores, or campuses.
  • Native drivers are installed along with default settings (grayscale, duplex etc.) and capabilities (stapling, hole punching etc).
  • It doesn’t matter whether printing to a server or printing directly to a printer in a print-serverless environment.
  • Mac and Windows computers are supported (with Linux and Chromebooks to come shortly).
  • Support for computers that are not joined to a local domain (for example, G Suite or Microsoft Azure AD).
• Custom Reports
  • You can now manage and run your own custom reports built in JasperSoft Studio. Note that updated documentation will be available by GA. PC-15694

  • Added new server commands that allow users to look up PaperCut NG/MF usernames by other descriptors such as email, full name, and user alias:
    • look-up-user-name-by-email <email>
    • look-up-user-name-by-secondary-user-name <user-alias>
    • look-up-user-name-by-full-name <“full name”> PC-13666
