PaperCut MF 9.1 (Build 7117)

New features:

• PaperCut will now query and list devices serial numbers for most network printers (if supported via SNMP). This will help administrators track physical printers. The serial number is displayed on printer CSV reports and printer details page.

Enhancements:

• Optimized the creation of on-demand user creation with systems with many groups.
• Improved toner detection on various printer makes and models (e.g. for devices that use custom SNMP extensions).
• Improved SNMP device-type detection for network printers.
• Enhanced the “Group Details” screen so the number of group members is conveniently listed. Also added a “quick link” to display the members of the group.
• Improved handling of offline/errored printers for load balancing and Find Me printing.
• Improved handling for LDAP directories with aliased user entries.
• Added a new advanced option to disable LDAP alias dereferencing. This can offer performance benefits in some large LDAP environments.

Fixes:

• Fix corrupted file included in the Mac installer that caused Windows clients and release stations to fail to start.
• Fixed 30 second delay establishing a HTTPS connection to PaperCut when running Firefox 3.
• Various improvements in all areas to address the errors most commonly reported via the “Report this error” feature.
• Correctly auto-detect the “Portuguese (Portugal)” language for users in Portugal.
• Linux: Improved installation to handle systems where /dev/null is not writable by the ‘papercut’ user.

Printer compatibility improvements:

• Added support for Panasonic GDI based printers (e.g. the Panasonic DP-190 and related printers).
• Fixed a Postscript page size detection regression introduced in the 9.0 release.

Copier / device integration:

• Sharp OSA: Improved counting of A3/large copying.
• Xerox: Improved compatibility for copier control for US/European Xerox devices.
• Added new ‘Pay Station only’ mode to the release station.
• Improved reliability of pay station.
