Full Page Watermarking Watermarking and digital signatures provide accountability and traceability to printed documents to avoid accidental or deliberate breach of sensitive data after a document has been printed. Protecting your digital environment does not stop once a document has been printed. For years, PaperCut has helped customers change the behaviour in their organizations with watermarks and digital signatures. Full page watermarking is a further enhancement of this feature. First feature on the list is Full Page Watermarking. The main thing to note with this feature is that it’s a further enhancement of the Watermarking feature which PaperCut has had in place for a while now. For years, PaperCut’s Watermarking and Digital Signatures has helped change the behaviour in organizations, to continue to think about the document security beyond the printer.

Web Security Enhancements PaperCut has always kept a close eye on digital security. This release also offers stricter cookie security with HTTP Only and the option to force all cookies to HTTPS with a “secure” flag. The importance of offering security best practices continues to increase. PaperCut has made enhancements to help meet US Government regulation standards with HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). SysAdmins can now activiate HSTS with a simple check box as well as offer stricter cookie security. So, another security enhancement that is quite timely are some changes made to HTTP settings. This helps PaperCut keep in line with increasing security measures across the globe. PaperCut’s always had HTTP security, and HSTS or HTTP Strict Transport Security, is the next level up from that. Rather than just encrypting the connection, it tells the browser that every connection from now on, must always be encrypted, so it makes it a lot harder for an attacker to do what’s called a “downgrade attack”.

Web Print Performance Improvements Our latest Web Print server update changes the behavior of third party application requests for multiple copies of a single job. All copies will now be printed as a single job, improving system performance and user experience. Significantly improve performance with less load on the Application and Web Print servers. This ones a bit of a usability improvement for the SysAdmin and End-User. Instead of the Web Print server requesting multiple jobs from a third party application when it’s just a single job with multiple copies, these changes have fixed that, so it now comes through as just one print job with multiple pages.

Improved Secure Print & Find-me Configuration We’ve made improvements to Secure Print and Find-Me Printing to decrease configuration time, increase awareness of inaccurate settings and we do this all with full backwards compatibility, no matter how unique your current environment is. Decrease configuration time and increase awareness of inaccurate settings. Improved Secure Print and Find-Me configurations. This one’s a real handy one for anyone who’s got to set up a Find-Me environment. You’ll see awareness notifications come up when a setting might be incorrect to help as the configuration goes along, instead of getting to the end, realising it’s not working and then back-tracking to try to find out what was wrong.

Mobility Print: Per Job Authentication Mode To help provide extra security on shared devices Mobility Print now enables optional enforcement of authentication for every job printed no matter the user or device. Enhance security on shared devices which have multiple users printing from it, with per job authentication mode. Ensure the correct user is associated to each print job by enforcing authentication after every print job For customers using Mobility Print or looking to use Mobility print, you now have a couple of options to choose from in terms of user authentication. When Mobility Print was released as part of 17.0, there was only one option available, and that was to authenticate “per device”, which meant the user’s details were remembered for the device they were printing from. That option is still available, however we have recently added a second authentication option, which is “per job” authentication, which means user details will need to be re-entered for each print job, when printed to a printer which has this option turned on. This will help to provide extra security on shared devices, as SysAdmins will have the ability to enforce this higher security authentication mode on a per printer basis, so it can be set just for those printers available on a shared device and ensure the correct users are being associated to their jobs, even if a user has accidentally stayed logged in on a shared device. The set up for this is quick and easy to do and all managed from the Mobility Print interface, so you just need to find the printer you want to change and turn on “Authentication per job”.

Mobility Print: Subnet Filtering Eliminate any potential confusion and make it easier for users to select the most appropriate printer for them through subnet filtering. Present users with only the printers which are relevant to them, based on their subnet, with the addition of subnet filtering. To complement the new authentication mode option, we have also introduced subnet filtering, which allows SysAdmins to restrict which printers are available for each subnet within an organization. So using our shared device example, in addition to changing the authentication mode to “per job”, you can also allocate the printer to the subnet the device is on, meaning users are only presented with the printer, with “per job” auth mode selected.    Subnet filtering will also allow printers to only be made available to specified groups or users. So in education for example, you might have all student devices on a different subnet to the staff devices, and want each of these groups to have access to a different set of printers. Through subnet filtering, you can restrict the student printers to the student subnet and the staff printers to the staff subnet, ensuring students don’t print to staff only printers and sensitive documents printed by staff members stay secure and away from printers accessed by students. This is also suitable for sites with different subnets across multiple locations. So if for example you are like PaperCut and have offices in the US, the UK and Australia, and each location is on their own subnet, only printers in that office on that subnet will be presented to users, eliminating confusion and potential waste of paper by printing to an incorrect printer.

Mobility Print: Site Server Support Users have the choice and freedom to print from whatever device is at their disposal, Sys Admins can have the confidence that their Mobility Print network will be always available when using Site Servers. Provide continuous availability of printing resources for users when using Mobility Print even in the event of network outages. While Mobility Print could always work with Site Servers, it now supports the seamless failover of Site Servers. Sys Admins can have the confidence that their Mobility Print network will be reliably supported with PaperCut’s Site Servers. Extending the integration between online Site Servers and Mobility Print, offline mode support has been added to provide networks utilizing Mobility Print the continuous availability of printing resources that Site Servers provide.
