This is a bugfix release for PaperCut MF 9.6, and contains the following changes:

Enhancements:

  • Enabled virtual queues (Find Me Printing and load balancing) for use with Web Print.
  • Improved memory allocation on PPC based Macs, resulting in better performance on this platform.
  • Improved Slovenian translations.
  • Mac: Performance improvements when analyzing very large PostScript jobs.
  • Group selection lists in the admin interface now all include “Enlarge” links next to them, for sites with very long group/OU names that all start the same.
  • Shared account list report in CSV now includes the parent account code on each line.
  • Added feature to allow real-time lookup of a user’s card/ID number in an external database.
  • CBORD Payment Gateway: Improved support for using release stations and copier devices when using the CBORD live/on-demand transfer mode.

Fixes:

  • Introduced workaround for long-standing Windows bug that resulted in network connectivity issues and non-paged pool memory leaks at some large sites.
  • Fixed problems using the new print job refund requesting features when running PaperCut on an Oracle database.
  • Fixed problem preventing print jobs from being manually refunded when the cost had been rounded for display.
  • Fixed problem using Web Print for users who had the manager mode pop-up enabled.
  • Fixed problems with Find Me Printing when the print queue name contained non-ASCII Unicode characters.
  • Web Print: Fixed problems handling jobs with document names that contained non-ASCII Unicode characters.
  • Fixed problem that could cause the Web Print service to stop unexpectedly.
  • Fixed issue on CentOS x64 running CUPS that may have prevented PaperCut from working with particular backend types.
  • Improved Web Print support when using the sandbox method with a Linux primary server.

Printer compatibility improvements:

  • Improved page size detection when printing custom sizes with InDesign on the Mac.

Copier / Device Integration:

  • Sharp OSA:
    • Fixed problem that displayed users as “Unrestricted” if they had a negative balance. This would only be displayed if overdrafts were enabled that allowed the user to continue copying even after their balance was negative.
