Release Notes steadyPRINT 8.5.1

CategoryContentDescription
Bug FixessteadyPRINT VPD: steadyPRINT Server Service with extemely high memory usage in version 8.5.0Under certain circumstances, higher memory usages occur in steadyPRINT VPD services. A number of known printer drivers that are used by steadyPRINT VPD are concerned. This faulty behaviour has been communicated to the printer driver manufacturer for remedy. In order to avoid the memory space to overflow in steadyPRINT, the printer drivers from a blacklist are used in a different way. This happens automatically with the currently known printer drivers. If this behaviour still occurs, the technical support should be contacted in order to add further printer drivers to the blacklist.
Bug FixessteadyPRINT VPD: Print jobs are rejected on print server-side due to invalid contentsIn very rare cases, invalid contents might lead to a rejection of the print job by the server-side spooler service. This problem has been fixed. For more questions regarding this topic, please contact our technical support.
Bug FixessteadyPRINT VPD: Manufacturer’s print setting window cannot be openedDepending on the manufacturer’s driver, the print setting window cannot be opened in the vPrinter printing dialog. This problem has been fixed.
Bug FixessteadyPRINT VPD: Max. storage period of print jobs is not considered with batch printsThe storage period of print jobs can be configured via the general VPD settings in the Center. This setting, however, has no effect on the batch print jobs. The use of batch prints might therefore lead to an unintentional high memory usage. A separated setting of the storage period for normal print jobs and batch prints can help the administrator to better influence the server-side scaling of the memory usage.
Bug FixessteadyPRINT VPD: Landscape format is not consideredIf a Word document has differently aligned sides (portrait and landscape), all landscape pages will be printed in portrait format. This problem has been fixed.
Bug FixessteadyPRINT VPD: vFlow | Printing to default printer not possibleIf the user selects the action “Print” with the option “Default printer” in the workflow designer, it may happen that no print job emerges when running the workflow. This problem has been fixed.

Bug FixessteadyPRINT: Determination of groups fails with Active Directory ExceptionIn an IT environment, there are often several Active Directory Servers available to realize reliability. In order to determine the groups, steadyPRINT uses .NET Framework. It identifies via an Operating System Metrics which AD server is to be used for the current inquiry. In rare cases, an Active Directory Exception (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException or ActiveDirectoryServerDownException) might occur after the shutdown of an DC. This leads to the fact that steadyPRINT is no longer able to identify the groups for the respective login context. This problem has been fixed by changing the group query.
Features & AdditionssteadyPRINT Center: Link to administration of MAC addresses in assignment windowThe assignment window is now directly linked to the overview for the administration of MAC addresses.
ModificationssteadyPRINT VPD: Optimization of charging time in print job viewOpening the print job view takes a relatively long time with more than 10,000 print jobs per user. Moreover, a higher memory usage is recognizable. The charging times have thus been considerably optimized so that a faster access to the print jobs with significantly less memory usage is guaranteed.
Bug FixesCreateSteadyDB: During the database update, BranchOffice assignments set as default are additionally created as Windows assignmentsAs soon as a default printer has been set to a BranchOffice printer via the tab “Automatic printer connection” on print server or folder level, the problem mentioned in the title appears.
