The way in which diagnostics files are provided to PaperCut Support has been improved with an "Upload diagnostics file to PaperCut Support" option on the Options > Advanced page.
Updated the bundled Java SE Runtime Environment to version 8, update 131, to incorporate the latest security fixes from Oracle.
Payment Gateway module: The advanced API for on-demand payment now fully supports charging and balance inquiries for shared accounts.
Security enhancements:
Improved coverage of HTTP header origin checks in both the Admin and User web interface, in line with OWASP recommendations.**
Removed unnecessary system and operating environment data (for example, OS version, web server resources, database type) from error messages.
Fixes:
Fixed an issue that caused custom memory allocation settings to be ignored. As a result, the Application Server used the standard memory allocation, which is insufficient for some large sites (since 17.3.2).
Shared Accounts: A warning message is now displayed on the Users > User Details page if the user does not have permission to access the assigned "Default shared account".
Novell iPrint: Fixed an occasional issue causing print errors when enforcing grayscale or duplex print job settings.

Fixed an issue that prevented the PRTG Template Generator from working with the SSL protocol (URLs with HTTPS).
Improved the layout of the Printers > Charts page.
Minor usability improvements to the Admin web interface, such as changed button colors and field sizes.
Other Notes:
**Additional actions are required to retain the CSRF HTTP header origin checks and avoid the CSRF validation error message while attempting to log into the Admin or User web interface. This is based on the way the PaperCut web server has been setup to redirect users to new pages (i.e. the way the proxy configuration handles host headers overrides):
either the proxy (IIS or Apache) is configured to run in front of PaperCut and override the host header, or
the proxy is configured to override the host header using the config key server.force-host-header in the server.properties file.
If you are running v17.2.1 or later, there is NO database upgrade.

New in PaperCut NG 14.2 Build 28232 (Jul 17, 2014)

New in PaperCut NG 14.2 Build 27858 (Jun 19, 2014)

New features:
Central Reports: Many customers deploy PaperCut in a distributed scenarios across geographically dispersed sites. The PaperCut Central Reports feature can be configured to generate aggregated data from multiple, distributed application Servers/Sites. Now formally out of the Early Access Program, Central Reports has been enhanced to allow reports to be created even if a remote site is not accessible.
Email to Print
Added support for Microsoft Office Documents.
Added support for IMAP mail server connections (in addition to POP3).
Automatic User ID Number Generation: Some sites require users to have ID numbers to login to copiers or release stations. PaperCut can now automatically generate user ID numbers for new users -- or users with blank ID number records -- and email the user their login details immediately. This feature eliminates the user ID management overhead for system administrators.
Admin Rights Across Multiple Groups: Admin rights can now be assigned to administrators -- either individually or in groups -- across multiple user groups at one time. For example, the Admin team can be granted access to both "Students" and "Teachers". This simplifies administration and improves security.
Enhancements:
The Application Server is now more resilient to restart events such as accidental outages or planned server upgrades. In the event that the Application Server is re-started, or failed over to a new VM instance, all user entered information (e.g. using account selection popups) is retained. For example, jobs that were previously authenticated will not need to be re-authenticated.
The Admin interface now offers enhanced search capability - particularly useful for installations with thousands of printers or user groups.
User Client Enhancements
The Mac User Client now resides in the menu bar as a "menulet" and no longer lives in the Dock, conforming more closely to OS X user interface guidelines.
Added support for non Latin characters in the User Client configuration property file.
Added the option to customize the text displayed in the account selection popup.
This release improves the printer load balancing behavior when using hold release queues. Now a batch of jobs released by one user will be sent to a single device, rather than distributed across multiple printers.
Added the ability for users belonging to the group "guest" to use SSO with Windows Integrated Authentication.
Reports enhancements
Log reports now have a new filter option to allow filtering by print method: Google Cloud Print, Web Print and Email to Print.
The "Printer usage - summary" CSV report has two new fields: Printer Adhoc fields and Serial Number.
A new payment gateway, CyberSource Secure Acceptance (SA), has been added.
Note: The existing CyberSource Hosted Order Page (HOP) gateway has been obsoleted by Cybersource. To upgrade to CyberSource SA contact PaperCut Support.
A user's secondary email address(es) can now be set and retrieved via either the API or the server-command tool.
Added a global (organization-wide) page for the environmental dashboard to complement the per-user page. In addition, organizations not wishing to publish per-user environmental stats can disable the per-user page and live tiles and have the global page and tiles shown instead.
Fixes:
Fixed a slow memory leak in the Print Provider (since 13.5), that may be observed on print servers with long uptimes.
Improved account selection performance when using a large number of Shared Accounts with SQL Server.
The mobile client and mobile release apps will now work through proxy servers. (See the KB article for more information.)
Oracle fixes
Fixed an issue where user information could not be updated by bulk user operations when applied to a list of users.
Fixed an issue where shared account quota allocation could not be applied to parent accounts
Fixed some rare cases where Google Cloud Print would stop processing jobs.
Improved speed of client popup if a workstation's IP address changes.
If SSO is configured to have a logout URL, the user will now be returned to that URL when the user session times out.
Improved the performance of loading the admin dashboard printer status when there are many thousands of printers.
Fixed an issue in specific scenarios where user cards were not self associating at Release Stations.
The silent install option of the Windows server installer will no longer display a warning if the version is not recent.
Fixed an issue with the Web Cashier Orders report where the cashier name was displayed in the wrong column when making a deposit.
Fixed the Moneris payment gateway to introduce a new configurable URL for verifying a transaction.
Addressed occasional HTTPS connection issues seen on some systems (since 14.0).
Fixed an error when accessing the printer cost pages with Windows Locale set to "English (Caribbean)".
Improved Payment Gateway in "On demand transfer mode" to check for sufficient/available credit when jobs are released when using the "Print All" button.

New in PaperCut NG 14.0 Build 26241 (Feb 12, 2014)

New in PaperCut NG 14.0 Build 25901 (Jan 24, 2014)

New Features:
Mobile & BYOD. PaperCut's mobile and BYOD functionality has been enhanced and unified to simplify planning and implementation of a mobile printing strategy. Google Cloud Print, iOS Printing and Web Print have been moved with the new Email to Print feature into a central management area and are now documented in the context of the broader mobile topic. More ...
Email to Print is new in 14.0 and rounds out the mobile story. It provides a simple, straightforward printing option for any mobile device with email. Email to Print allows users to print PDF documents by attaching them to emails. Each printer / queue has its own email address.
The Mobile Client app provides the functionality of the desktop client software to mobile devices. The new app includes user authentication, selecting shared accounts and interacting with print script pop-ups. Elements of the Mobile Client were previously available for use with iOS Printing. These have been extended to other mobile platforms and are now available on any device with a modern web browser.
Environmental Impact Dashboard & Windows Live Tile. PaperCut started as a way to encourage users to save paper and reduce waste. It's not just about print control, it's also bringing visibility to the impact that everyone has each time they print. The new Environmental Impact Dashboard brings helps explain your impact and compare usage with the company average. If the dashboard is accessed through Windows 8.1 you can create (pin) a Windows Live Tile on your Start Screen. The Live Tile updates with awards, ratings, tips and fun facts, all based on your personal printing behavior.
New Look and Feel. We've given Version 14.0 a new look. Download it and check out the new style.
Enhancements:
Added a new one-click report option to run any report for "Yesterday".
Improved support for custom currency formats. It may now include trailing spaces.
New print scripting API to allow scripts to adapt their behavior depending on whether the job is sent from Google Cloud Print, Web Print or Email to Print. See scripting reference for "inputs.job.jobSourceName".
The Mobile Client (e.g. iOS Printing), and Mobile Print Release apps now support single sign-on logins.
Added an option to provide end-users with the option to edit their card/ID number (self-manage) (disabled by default).

User List report: filter to "Users not in any groups".
Shared Account List report: filter by shared account name, parent account name or parent account code.
New install defaults:
The setup wizard now asks for a default printer color cost as well as grayscale costs. This simplifies future configuration.
During initial install, disabled users in Windows Active Directory are not imported by default.
The default cost model on new printers is now the Standard model rather than the Simple model.
The default color detection mode on new printers is now page-level color detection rather than document-level detection.
Fixes:
When Single sign-on (SSO) login is enabled, it's now possible to switch between admin areas without the need to re-authenticate (e.g. Admin area to Web Cashier area).
Fixed problem changing login types (e.g. logging out of the admin interface and into the user interface in the same browser session)
Fixed an issue which may have allowed duplicate email address to be entered without any warning.
Optimized API performance when linking or unlinking accounts to users and groups.

New in PaperCut NG 13.5 Build 24862 (Nov 27, 2013)

New Features:
Google Cloud Print (GCP).
To support cloud based printing, PaperCut now integrates and enables Google Cloud Print. Version 13.5 provides the tools to allow administrators to quickly publish existing printers, immediately enabling printing from many mobile devices (e.g. Android, Chromebook, and Google apps on iOS). All GCP printing is tracked and controlled, and users can continue to leverage key features such as Find-Me Printing. This core feature is included as standard and allows organizations to make use of GCP without the need to purchase new "GCP Ready" devices. For more information see the blog post. This feature is available under PaperCut's Early Access Program.
Pause on Redirect.
PaperCut's print scripting is very powerful and has been used to implement many custom workflows. An often requested enhancement is the ability to redirect a job then place it in a holding state. An example would be a workflow where large jobs are automatically redirected to a high volume MFD in a managed print room, or to a Find Me queue managing MFDs. This is made possible with a new scripting option on the redirect command called allowHoldAtTarget.
Admin Print Release.
There are two major enhancements to the manager-mode web-based release station ("/release") and the web-based release station in the admin web interface (Printers -> Jobs Pending Release)
Filter settings are now saved between sessions. This means that admins no longer need to enter filter settings, such as selected printers, each time they login.
A new "Override" button allows admins to change the user's account selection (charged account) prior to release.
Enhancements:
Enhanced Web Print to support RTF documents (requires MS Word installed on the sandbox server).
New printer-level override settings to enforce
all jobs charged to users' personal accounts
all jobs charged to users' personal accounts but associated with a shared account (for reporting purposes, e.g. for user-level quotas but department-level tracking)
Print job watermarking: It is now possible to insert a user's id number(s) into a watermark.
For security reasons, browser autocompletion on the login form is disabled by default. Organizations with strong browser configuration and user profiles can choose to enable autocompletion via a new advanced config option auth.web-login.autocomplete.
The get-user-property server-command and API has been enhanced to return the user's "auto-charge to shared account" setting.
When the PaperCut client software is used for authentication (Pop-up Authentication), it is now possible to offer the option of authenticating with an id/card number (and optional PIN). This is useful in environments where primary authentication is a card or id rather than username and password (e.g. public libraries).
Added an option to enable strict SSL certificate checks in the user client software for enhanced security when a server is using a signed certificate.
Linux user/group sync: added support for Windows nested groups when using Samba as the user/group source.
Fixes:
Improved the Web Print printer name matching algorithm for mobile print queues, where previously the wrong printer could be selected in some cases.
When using the "hide document name" option the document name for all kinds of jobs are now hidden, including redirected jobs and Web Print jobs.
Fixed an issue which prevented the duplex, grayscale and paper size fields from being displayed in the "Shared account printing invoice - logs" PDF report.
When the option to omit user or document names from the print log is selected, the details are also now omitted from the text file print logs as well as the database.
Low toner notifications are now issued for each toner color. (Previously low toner notifications were issued collectively.) The printer location can also be optionally omitted from the low toner notification messages.
Fixed a rare bug that prevented running scheduled reports on the 28th day of the month.
Fixed translations for Slovenian and Arabic that were incorrectly showing Czech in some locations.
The option "Don't apply the printer's filter settings to this user's jobs", will now override all filters including grayscale and duplex conversions.
When running the PaperCut Application Server on a Windows system and the service has been configured to run as a custom service account, the PaperCut logs now correctly report the service account's username (on recent Windows Server versions the logs would always report "SYSTEM").
If an existing print queue is changed to point to a new physical device, the displayed printer model/type will now update correctly.
Release Stations: Fixed problem using pay-and-release mode payment integration with the Blackboard and CBORD payment gateway modules (it was possible for the amount of credit given to users to be one cent different to the amount deducted from the gateway).
Printer compatibility improvements:
Added the ability to detect duplex and N-up pages on the Riso ComuColor IS1000C950C PostScript drivers.
Improved copy count detection on some HP, OKI and Ricoh devices with PCL 5 drivers.
Improved color detection on HP M451DN color printer PCL6 drivers.
Detect 2-up booklet mode for Konica Minolta 1051 PostScript printer drivers.
Fixed a potential page-level color detection that may occur when printing from Acrobat Reader version 8 and higher.
Improved N-up and grayscale detection for the Epson SC-T3050 printer driver on Mac.
Improved N-up detection on the CanoniPF760 and related devices.
Improved support for FX 360 printers.
Improved hardware page count validation support for the following models of Ricoh devices: MP C2051, MP C305, MP C3003, MP C4502, MP C4503.
Other Notes:
This release contains a database upgrade and administrators should factor this into their upgrade plan.
PaperCut now enforces unique email addresses. When performing a User/Group Sync (and when upgrading to 13.5 or newer) and the user directory contains multiple users with the same email address, the email will be assigned to the first user alphabetically and a warning message will be logged for the others.
Print scripts that store custom data are no longer limited to 1,000 characters per item.

New in PaperCut NG 13.4 Build 24032 (Oct 1, 2013)

New Features:
Web Single Sign-on (SSO). Single sign-on lets users access PaperCut's web interface via an intranet portal without re-entering credentials. PaperCut offers a choice of two popular SSO technologies, Integrated Windows Authentication and WebAuth. For more information, see Single sign-on chapter in the user manual and the 13.4 release news.
It's now even easier to track duplex printing to help your organization reduce paper usage. Summary reports have been enhanced to show both single and double-sided page counts by user, printer or group.
For organisations that require an exceptional degree of user privacy, a new option is provided to "Anonymize jobs". When this option is enabled, the print log does not record the username.
Enhancements:

Enhancements to XML Web Services API and server-command to make it possible to set a user's default shared account.
To support a kiosk touch screens, the Release Station software can be configured to used an on-screen keyboard. It is now possible to specify a custom on-screen keyboard program in place of the Windows default (osk.exe).
The ability to extract the username from print job PJL which is required for some enterprise environments has been extended to support CUPS on Linux and Mac. See the manual chapter on external usernames for more information.

New in PaperCut NG 13.3 Build 23186 (Jul 22, 2013)

New in PaperCut NG 13.3 Build 23137 (Jul 18, 2013)

New Features:
Central Reports. Large organizations with offices in multiple cities often choose to deploy PaperCut in a decentralized way (one application/primary server per site). This helps to streamline management but makes it difficult to gain a complete organization perspective. Central Reports solves this problem by giving a unified view of data from multiple application servers.
Group-level delegated print release. Delegated print release is a features that allows users to securely release print jobs on behalf of other users. This feature has been enhanced to support groups of users, for example it is now possible to authorize teachers to release print jobs for all students in their class.
Release stations now support card self-association. Management of identity cards can be time consuming for administrators if they need to pre-load card data into user directories and other systems. Card self-association allows users to associate a new card with their account by entering their username and password when they first use it.
Enhancements:
Installing a PaperCut primary/application server on Mac OS 10.6 will now raise a warning to remind administrators that it reaches end of support life at the end of 2013.
User-device affinity for printer load balancing. Printer load balancing can be used to increase job throughput by distributing jobs to multiple printers. For users sending a batch of jobs this can be frustrating as the documents will need to be collected from multiple printers. This release improves the load balancing behavior so that a batch of jobs from one user will be sent to a single device. This behavior is configurable.
The standard print release station on Windows now supports displaying an on-screen keyboard. This is ideal for touchscreen kiosks as a replacement for a physical keyboard.
Print archiving: authorized administrators may now delete jobs from the archive. This can be used to delete offensive material or sensitive material that was not intended to be archived.
Print release in the user web interface can now be enabled for a specified group of users, rather than just enabled or disabled for all users.
Reports:
New report "Group user transactions - type summary" for sites using multiple personal accounts and user groups.
To make the group filter easier to use it is now a drop-down list of group names rather than a text input.
Department and office filters in reports can now accept a wildcard '%'. E.g. "Melbourne%" can be used to include data from all offices starting with "Melbourne".
Added office and department information to the "User - Job Type Summary" report.
Added printer serial number information to "Group printing - printer summary" report.
The "Shared account printing - paper area summary" report is now available as a scheduled report.
Added a multiple personal accounts filter to the transaction reports.
Added a multi-user filter to "Group user transactions - type summary report".
The low toner notification message can now include the printer's location to assist staff with finding the right printer.
The option in the PaperCut Print Provider on Windows to ignore given print queues can now accept wildcards. E.g. "Copy Room*" can be used to avoid tracking any printer starting with "Copy Room".
Virtual print queues (e.g. for Find Me Printing) are now resilient to the fake "zero byte" jobs sent by some printer drivers. These jobs are now automatically ignored, where previously they would show up in the print queue with an error state.
The CardSmith payment gateway module now supports on-demand transfers for automatic payment integrations.
iOS printing: improved compatibility with Cisco Bonjour gateway routing.
It is now possible to use HTML formatting in the registration instructions provided for users to register their own account (internal user self-registration).
The customizable instructions provided to users on the login page can now support HTML formatting.
The "Multiply print costs by" user-level feature to adjust print costs now accepts decimal places.
User web interface: The Transaction History and Change Details pages can now be chosen as the default page to display when users log in.
Administrator logouts are now audited in the App. Log.
Improved performance loading the virtual printer settings page when many hundreds of printers are selected as compatible queues.
Printer error checking on Mac and Linux can now be configured to ignore unimportant errors.
The installer now checks to see if PaperCut Print Logger is installed to avoid potential clashes.
Advanced: added system integrator APIs that allow an external system to approve or deny print jobs.
Fixes:
Improved reliability of print release and Find Me Printing when jobs are canceled directly from operating system print queues. Note that as per installation recommendations, users should not be able to cancel jobs from print queues.
It is now possible to add a link for the user web interface to the home screen of an iPhone.
When using a print release in "release any" mode, the user-level setting "automatically charge to a single shared account" will now be correctly applied.
Fixed problem setting up hold/release on copiers and terminals to display jobs for more than 200 different print queues.
Printer "failure mode" settings are now correctly applied when using Copy Printer Settings feature.
Fixed some reports displaying paper area using the wrong measurement units when in the USA.

Web Cashier: fixed an issue caused when a user is a member of multiple groups that have different Web Cashier admin rights.
The "User Configuration" report no longer repeats information when split across pages.
Web based release station: tool tips / hover info (e.g. displaying a full document name) now works correctly in Internet Explorer 10.

New in PaperCut NG 13.2 Build 22088 (May 13, 2013)

New in PaperCut NG 13.2 Build 21956 (May 2, 2013)

New Features:
A new charging type for printing and copying has been added. We've called it "Standard" because we believe it will become the first choice for most sites. The new charging type allows exact costs to be specified for each combination of page size, color/grayscale and single/double sided. For the back-story about this change, see the PaperCut 13.2 release news.
Denied print jobs are now displayed for a short time in hold/release queues, so users can know what has happened to their job. This applies to the release station, web based release interfaces and the Mobile Print Release interface.
New tools to assist with diagnosing problems, including
A one-click download of diagnostic files.
Generate and log a diagnostic snapshot of system state at a point in time.
Web Print PDF printing is now built in
Web Print now works "out of the box" for PDF printing on Windows. There is no longer a need to install and configure Adobe Reader or a separate service account.
Improved fault tolerance on Windows by continuing to print previously submitted jobs after Web Print is restarted.
If a system change results in successive Web Print job failures, an error will be reported to the Application Log allowing system administrators to be notified and take action.
Enhancements:
Major improvements to application server throughput and robustness under very high print loads and with large numbers of secondary print providers.
The 11x17, Ledger and Tabloid paper sizes are now unified under the 11x17 name to avoid confusion when configuring costs. Sites with cost settings for Ledger and Tabloid will be automatically migrated to costs for 11x17.
The failure mode for virtual printer queues is automatically set to "hold all jobs". This avoids a common misconfiguration of virtual queues resulting in jobs going into error states. Note: When upgrading, existing virtual queues will be set to "hold all jobs".
Improved startup time of the application server by loading some services in the background. This makes the admin interface accessible more quickly after an application server restart, or during initial installation or upgrades.
Added the ability to visually customize Mobile Release with a custom logo and colors.
Print archiving activity is now audited in the App. Log, recording who and when
Enabled or disabled Print Archiving.

Added group name filter to office and department summary reports.
Printers can now be searched by IP address or hostname (physical printer ID) as well as name.
Email notification enhancements
Can now use secure SMTP (SMTPS) with authentication.
Changing advanced SMTP settings no longer requires an app server restart to take effect.
An error message is now displayed when creating a device with a duplicate IP address.
To assist PaperCut support, the amount of application server logs that are kept can now be configured via Options->Advanced (rather than needing to edit a config file).
Fixes:
The printer group name now appears correctly on the Edit Admin Rights page.
Very long group names are now viewable on the Bulk User Operations and Bulk Shared Account Operations pages.
Fixed archived job thumbnails occasionally not displaying in the print log.

New in PaperCut NG 13.1 Build 21541 (Mar 28, 2013)

New in PaperCut NG 13.1 Build 21453 (Mar 19, 2013)

New Features:
PaperCut has worked with two of the leading mobile printing solutions to ensure that mobile print users of these systems are able to benefit from the features offered by PaperCut. It is now possible to use PaperCut features such as print quotas, Print Archiving and many more via Collobos Fingerprint or EFI PrintMe Mobile.
"Copy Printer Settings" now allows copying to printer groups in addition to individual printers. This will benefit sites managing many printers.
It is now possible to define a secondary user id or card number within PaperCut. Previously this required configuration of an external database. This will make it easier for sites looking to transition between card systems or issue multiple cards per user.
Historically, enabling page-level color detection on Windows has involved making a driver-level setting change (disabling the "advanced printing features" option). In this release we have added page-level color detection for the EMF print language and this driver setting change is no longer a requirement. This takes us one step closer to making page-level color detection the standard option for new printers.
Large PaperCut sites often run automated license management systems. A new API / server-command "get-total-users" has been added to allow these sites to proactively monitor user counts.
Added support for the PayEx payment gateway, a popular payment system in Europe.
Enhancements:
Print Archiving
Simplified setup by automatically configuring access rights where possible.
Simplified setup on Linux (automatically find installed GhostPCL).
Improved print server scalability
Reduced CPU utilization when there are a large number of jobs in a hold/release queue.
Reduced network traffic between secondary print servers and the application server.
Security: The "Use HTTPS/SSL if available" option now applies to admin logins when accessing PaperCut from a remote system. Previously this option only applied to end-user logins. This option has also been moved from "Options -> General -> Client Software" to "Options -> Advanced -> Security".
Sites with a large number of groups in Active Directory can now limit the groups displayed in PaperCut's User/Group Sync to a single Organizational Unit (OU). This will benefit sites running PaperCut in a multi-department AD environment.
PaperCut Web Print will now automatically configure Adobe Reader, reducing setup steps.
Copying printer settings now displays the number of target printers rather than a potentially long list of names.
On Mac servers the "papercut" host/service user account will no longer be displayed on the login screen.

New in PaperCut NG 12.5 Build 19702 (Nov 12, 2012)

New in PaperCut NG 12.5 Build 19607 (Nov 1, 2012)

New features:
Mobile Print Release: Release print jobs from your mobile phone. In a secure printing environment jobs are normally released using release stations, embedded MFD software or specialist hardware. PaperCut Mobile Print Release provides a cost effective solution that leverages the powerful device that exists in almost everyone's pocket - the mobile phone.
Windows 8: The PaperCut User Client now displays notifications on the Windows 8 Start Screen ("Metro"). This means that PaperCut print notifications are now prominent when printing from a new style fullscreen app.
In recent months PaperCut has been deployed at some very large organizations (some with over 10,000 printers!). As a result of these projects we have made a number of "under the hood" performance improvements from which sites of all sizes will benefit!
Enhancements:
Improvements to how print jobs are handled while in a hold/release queue, reducing the time between a user release action and the job starting to print. This change will also provide improved scalability for sites with large numbers of jobs in hold/release queues.
Tune memory settings on 64-bit systems for improved performance.
To avoid accidental loss of settings changes a warning message is now displayed when attempting to close important pages with unsaved changes.
Improved behavior when communicating with an LDAP server on an unreliable network. LDAP queries now time out after a reasonable time if they appear "hung".
When using multiple personal accounts, different payment types can be automatically allocated to defined personal accounts. E.g. TopUp/Pre-Paid cards can be paid into an account called "Paid Printing".
When the user/group sync process detects duplicate user card numbers, a warning message is logged.
Sites with a large number of printers will benefit from improved performance in the admin interface.
Windows: The list of ignored virtual print queues (e.g. virtual fax and "PDF printers") has been updated.
Added support for sending email notifications using SSL/TLS only (i.e. not STARTTLS).
Added support for retrieving serial numbers from a wider range of Canon printers.
Release Station: It is now possible to add clickable hyperlinks in the release station's instructions text.
Significant performance improvements to the "Shared Account Security Access" report.
Custom defined links in the user web interface will now open in a new tab.
Improved documentation for setting up Windows print server clusters in "active-active" mode.
Added an option to db-tools import-db to validate the integrity of export files (backups).
Added support for displaying Lithuanian and Polish characters in PDF reports.
Release station: If there is an error connecting to the server during user login, display feedback to the user.
The installer now discourages the installation of a Web Print sandbox install on server-class operating systems (a desktop class system is recommended).
The installer installation on a virtual machine and recommends a best practice knowledge base article.
External Account Source custom integrations: If the external source does not explicitly indicate if a user can/cannot charge to shared accounts they are no longer considered disabled.
Various translation updates.
Fixes:
Fixed issue that could cause Web Print jobs to time out when a large number of jobs is submitted within a short period. User feedback about job status has also been improved.
Fixed issue that may occur when releasing a very large batch of held print jobs.
Card authentication at release stations: Fixed issue that may have caused the card field to lose focus (leading to misreads).
Improvements the reliability of Web Print for selected Microsoft Office documents if Office hangs.

New in PaperCut NG 12.4 Build 18828 (Sep 14, 2012)

New in PaperCut NG 12.4 Build 18713 (Sep 7, 2012)

New features:
With the majority of new installs now being on 64-bit hardware, the 64-bit optimized option is now built into the Windows installer. Previously an optional 64-bit add-on pack needed to be applied post-install. The Windows installer now auto detects the operating system architecture and installs the relevant version where appropriate.
Three new pre-written printer scripting recipes have been added to the cookbook:
Implement color print quotas - users can be limited to a maximum number of color pages per day.
Recognize and reward good behaviour - users who accomplish 10 consecutive days of only printing in duplex/grayscale receive a popup award.
Rate limit printing during lab hours - ensure printer access is not abused.
All these new scripts have been made possible with the introduction of new scripting APIs that allow the storage and retrieval of persistent data/variables.
Enhancements:
Added a new Payment Gateway option: Heartland Onecard.
Dashboard page performance improvements.
Added the ability to hide user card numbers in the interface and logs for sites conscious about security.
New server-command and XML Web Service APIs
getUserProperty - expanded to return a nominated user's account selection properties/settings.
syncGroup - will manually synchronize a nominated group with the directory source.
getGroupQuota - will fetch the group quota allocation settings for a given group.
SQL Server 2012 and variants are now explicitly supported and documented.
General performance improvements when processing print jobs.
Error handling and messages have been improved for sites running multiple LDAP sources.
The Microsoft XPS format is now natively supported. Drivers using this as a spool file format can now leverage features such as page-level analysis, and force duplex/grasycale.
If an internal database corruption is detected the system will now display a message giving advice on how to solve the problem.
Improved the error message displayed when the server encounters low-memory conditions. The message offers some suggestions.
Added detection of common misconfiguration of advanced LDAP settings. The system offers advice on how to resolve any problems.
The "SMART Notebook Document Writer" virtual printer is now ignored by default.

Fixes:
Fixed a problem where the "Maximum Copies" filter settings were lost when modifying other filter settings.
Executive Summary Report - corrected inconsistencies when handling large data sets.
Fixed problem that could cause slow print popups on Linux and Mac (CUPS).
When accessing invalid URLs under "/upload/", we now return a 404 (page not found) error, instead of an empty page. This was causing false-positive security warnings with some security tools.
Perform additional validation when creating internal users to ensure invalid names cannot be used.
Manager Mode Popup automatically resizes to accommodate very long account names.
Fixed a problem with printer scripting when using the actions.job.cancelAndLog() function, which could cause the job to be logged twice, if called when job analysis was not yet complete.
Fixed a problem seen on some older Linux distributions.
Fixed a problem on Novell systems that could block print jobs when hardware page detection is enabled and PaperCut cannot determine the device network address.
Fixed a problem in the release station where focus may not return to the card/username field on the login screen. This could prevent user authentication in rare circumstances.
Logging in using full-width Latin characters used in Japan, China etc. will now no longer cause user duplication problems.
