This release includes improvements for print servers running CUPS 1.4, such as Mac OS 10.6 and recent Linux distributions. Customers with such print servers should update to this version when possible.

Enhancements:

  • Improved low toner notifications to clearly separate which printers are newly low in toner and those that have been notified previously. Also added a new option to only send the low toner notification email when there is at least one new printer that is newly low on toner.
  • User client: new option default-account-pin to specify a default PIN/code to be pre-entered on the account selection pop-up.
  • Improved user manual documentation for configuring Web Print in sandbox mode.
  • Improved credit/balance display on devices when using a custom number of decimal places or unusual currency formats.

Fixes:

  • Improved support for print servers running CUPS 1.4, such as Mac OS 10.6 and recent Linux distributions.
  • Fixed PAM configuration issue that may have prevented Unix Standard authentication working on Mac OS 10.6.
  • Improved stability of print provider when analysing very large Canon spool files.
  • Fixed error running the Printer Environmental Impact report.
  • Fixed problem when displaying the pending printer refunds which could cause the paging controls to not work as expected. E.g. the paging controls may not appear even though there was more than a page of refund requests.
  • Fixed display problems with Simplified Chinese text in the Windows installer.
  • Fixed a problem that could stop the user client from closing when the Exit menu was selected.

Printer compatibility improvements:

  • Improved page-level color detection with the “HP Universal” PostScript driver.
  • Improve detection of blank last pages in duplex mode on the HP LaserJet 4000 series using a PCL6 driver.
  • Improved page size detection on the Konica Minolta C552 using the Visual Postscript driver.
  • Improved support for the UFR2 driver on the Canon MF4000 and related printers.

Copier / Device Integration:

  • Boscop Virtual Cash Controller Alpha: Work around a limitation of the VCC Alpha print release feature which only allows 60 jobs to be displayed. We now display the 60 most recent jobs.
  • Boscop Virtual Cash Controller: Fixed a problem that can occur when using VCC devices and running PaperCut on an Oracle database.
  • Lexmark LeSF:
    • Added support for the touch screen printer model T656dne.

    • New interface translations for Russian and Spanish.
    • Login screens now time out if left unattended at any stage.

    • Added support for devices without hard disks.
    • Devices with hard disks can now choose to complete scanning before printing or start printing right away.
  • Sharp OSA:
    • Fixed issue introduced in previous version that prevented logging into the device.
    • Added option to skip the start/welcome screen.
