Tag upgrade papercut

PaperCut have just released version 15, it has a slightly different look with a new logo. 

The major new feature seems to be the new Site Server function, this allows large organisations who have a main print server say in their London office who have their other offices print servers set up as secondary servers more control. As the new site server replaces the secondary server and gives continuity of print services during unexpected network dropouts.

Please see the video from PaperCut  showing installation and set up of a site server.

The other major feature is that users of PaperCut  NG  on windows can now upgrade to PaperCut MF easily by basically installing the PaperCut MF over the top of  PaperCut NG and utilising the existing database.

At the End of 2012 PaperCut released a new function that allows the user to print to a queue and then release their jobs from any mobile device that is connected to the local network via wifi. The user logs in via their phones web browser using their AD credentials and then you can choose from a list which printer you want to print your jobs.

In a standard print environment a user’s job prints immediately and may accidentally be collected by another user. Document security is an important requirement in the modern print environment. 

This problem is usually addressed with print release by implementing dedicated release stations, embedded MFD applications, or specialist hardware. PaperCut’s Mobile Print Release provides an alternate cost effective solution that leverages the powerful devices that exist in almost everyone’s pocket – the smart phone.

Features:

* Release held jobs from any print queue with Hold/Release enabled

* Works on all modern mobile phones

* Simple intuitive interface, optimized for touch screens

* Designed to work with most modern mobiles and tablet devices

* Quickly locate printers with keyword searching (location, name or code)

* Can be used in environments with Find Me Printing configured, giving the user ultimate control over where and when their jobs are released

* Support for QR code printer location/lookup

How To Upgrade Papercut On A Windows Server

In this short tutorial I will show you how to upgrade Papercut on your windows server to the latest version. Papercut bring out new versions on a regular basis as they add new features and it is quite straight forward to upgrade as it has been designed so you can load the new version over the top of the old one.

The first step is to log in to your Papercut server as an Administrator and perform a backup. The backup facility is found under the options tab.

Once you have backed up Papercut then log out and go to services under administration settings. The next step is to stop the Papercut application server and to stop the Papercut print provider services. It is important to complete this step as you can destroy your database if you don’t.

Once you have stopped the service you can run the installer and follow the prompts to overwrite your Papercut installation.

That’s it once it has finished installing it will restart Papercut and you can login and go to the about tab and check your Papercut Version.
