Guide to 6.2 Release, RPM Remote Print Manager

RPM 6.2 Release

We have scheduled a new release for RPM Remote Print Manager® for July 2018. This release has been in process since August 2017 and includes a tremendous number of additions and updates.

Here are some highlights:

• We did a tremendous amount with the LPD protocol including supporting Microsoft’s way of byte counting, added capture support, increased speed substantially, fixed “lpstat” results so network probes are satisfied, added AS/400 specific extensions, and around a dozen items
• In network updates we made all new “print” programs for LPR and Telnet for sending outgoing jobs, and more
• In job processing, our biggest change was fixing and greatly improving the situation with multiple actions AND multiple transforms in a setup; in fixing that we actually made the whole process much more fluid even for simpler setups; plus we added PCLXL support to the PCL Resource Transform, worked on the Intel CPU bugs, and more
• Also in job handling, we made a lot of fixes to reprint and error handling
• We made several changes to database handling but probably the biggest is that we streamlined the log message process; it now completes in its own thread so you can turn up the log detail and not slow RPM down by much
• The biggest User Interface update that people have commented on was that we enlarged the icon that shows whether the UI is connected to the service, so it’s a lot more obvious; we did more than that but this is the one people have commented on
