2023 Release Notes

MySQL Compatibility: This build is compatible with MySQL versions 8.0.26 - 8.0.30. External MySQL databases must run a version within this range for the product to function correctly.

If your host version is 1.0.757 or older, you must first update to 22.0.818 before proceeding to newer versions. If you are on host build 1.0.711 or older, we suggest incremental upgrades to at least host build 1.0.757 and then upgrade to 22.0.818 before upgrading to a newer host.

New Features and Enhancements

• Enhancement: New Data Type added to the Data Manager of Printer QR Code URLs.
  • Bundle: Core availability
  • Benefiting Persona: IT admin, and end-users using the PrinterLogic mobile app.
  • Description: A new Data Type has been added to the Data Manager. This type, titled Printer QR Code URLs, is an export only option that will download all generic QR code URLs for printers found within your Tree View. The purpose of these QR codes is to be used with the mobile PrinterLogic Mobile App as a quick way to release held print jobs by scanning the code at the printer. These downloaded URLs can be used with a QR code generator of your choice to customize the code to include things like an image. For more information on PrinterLogic QR codes visit our QR Code Options topic.

If upgrading from host build 1.0.593 or earlier, please contact PrinterLogic support at support@printerlogic.com. FOR CUSTOMERS USING THE MySQL SERVER THAT IS CONTAINED IN THE Virtual Appliance, you must perform the following prerequisite BEFORE upgrading to this host build:

• Before upgrading to this host version, the following query must be run on the existing internal MySQL server immediately before doing the host upgrade:
  Copy Code

  SET PERSIST innodb_fast_shutdown=0;

How do I access the MySQL database in the Virtual Appliance to run this query?

More detailed instructions can be found in the PrinterLogic Knowledge Base.

1. Download and install a MySQL editor of your choice (e.g. MySQL, MySQL Workbench, HeidiSQL, PHPMyAdmin).
2. Run the MySQL Editor.
3. Set the host to the IP address of your Virtual Appliance.
4. Set the user/username to admin.
5. Set the password to the password that was designated during the configuration of the Virtual Appliance.

Database password can be found in the secrets.env file on the share drive. This will be listed as the DB_PASSWORD parameter.

New Support:

PrinterLogic now offers support for Red Hat 8. You can find the new Red Hat 8 deployable client package in Tools Settings Client. The Client installation instructions are in the Install the Client & Web Extension topic. Red Hat 7 and 8 will share the same client number.

• New Setting:

  • Tools Settings Portal Enable "Automatic Self-service Portal and Release Portal" Login

    By selecting this option, the Self-service Portal and Release Portal will automatically log in the user based on who the Client recognizes as logged into the machine. Conversely, if the option is deselected, users will be required to log in each time they want to access one of the portals. It is important to note that enabling this feature will prompt you to acknowledge a modal warning before proceeding. For existing customers, current behavior will be the same unless they disable this setting. For new customers, this setting will be disabled by default, with the option to enable it if desired. Additional information can be found in the

    Portal Settings topic.

    Enabling this feature grants an authenticated user with valid server credentials the ability to impersonate another user. This impersonation allows the user to view print jobs that are currently held, as well as prematurely release or redirect them to accessible printers within your organization. It is important to consider the risk of enabling this feature, as it introduces the possibility of unauthorized access and potential misuse of print jobs by the impersonator.

NOTICE: If using Off-Network Printing (ONP) with a self-hosted external gateway, it is a known issue that this Virtual Appliance host, version 22.0.818, causes an error of "BadCertificate," causing ONP not to function. However, this issue will be fixed if after upgrading to this host, you then update to the latest application release.

If upgrading from host build 1.0.593 or earlier, please contact PrinterLogic support at support@printerlogic.com. FOR CUSTOMERS USING THE MySQL SERVER THAT IS CONTAINED IN THE Virtual Appliance, you must perform the following prerequisite BEFORE upgrading to this host build:

• Before upgrading to this host version, the following query must be run on the existing internal MySQL server immediately before doing the host upgrade:
  Copy Code

  SET PERSIST innodb_fast_shutdown=0;

How do I access the MySQL database in the Virtual Appliance to run this query?

More detailed instructions can be found in the PrinterLogic Knowledge Base.

1. Download and install a MySQL editor of your choice (e.g. MySQL, MySQL Workbench, HeidiSQL, PHPMyAdmin).
2. Run the MySQL Editor.
3. Set the host to the IP address of your Virtual Appliance.
4. Set the user/username to admin.
5. Set the password to the password that was designated during the configuration of the Virtual Appliance.

Database password can be found in the secrets.env file on the share drive. This will be listed as the DB_PASSWORD parameter.

Features and Enhancements

• The Printer Apps service has been updated to a 64 bit service. This will improve the performance and scalability of the service. The Printer Apps service will not function on a 32-bit OS.
• Copy/Scan Tracking is now available on supported Lexmark devices.
• Copy/Scan Tracking is now available on supported Ricoh devices.
• When configuring Simple Badge Release service on a Windows service client, a Windows firewall rule will automatically be added so that port 31990 will be accessible. This function removes the previously required step of manually adding a Windows firewall rule. However, if your organization has a GPO that supersedes local Windows firewall rules, you must ensure that TCP 31990 is allowed on the Windows service client for the Simple Badge Reader service to function.
• Using Simple Badge Release with RFIDeas Ethernet 241 devices now requires firmware version 4.01.3.1 to function properly. More information on this can be found in the PrinterLogic Knowledge Base.
