PRODUCT: Intermate Advanced Print Server (IAPS) ThinPrint Product Release: V 2.3 RELEASE DATE: 2006-12-14 SOFTWARE CODE: G53_22rc_019-setup and G53_22rc_019-update MODELS: 200-x (x = number of active sessions supported by the license: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64) SUPPORT SITE: www.intermate.com/iaps ******************************************************************** 1. This release (V2.3 G53_23rc_019 2006-02-14) ******************************************************************** * No changes that affect ThinPrint functionality. Release was made to introduce new features for TNe which shares the software base with ThinPrint. ******************************************************************** 2. Known limitations ******************************************************************** * Application Launcher does under devicename not accept [space] and other special characters. The reason is that the IAPS devicename is used as DNS name and subsequently must follow DNS naming conventions * Number of printers per ThinPrint .print Client (by design): * Do not configure a single .print Client with more than 8 printers. You can use the IAPS's multiple .print Clients to distribute printing loads, even if you will be targeting 8 or less printers from the IAPS. GateManager (limitations by design): ------------------------------------- * "Go To Appliance" only works with "Manual login" (Session > Preferences > "Go to Appliance". * There are no facilities for configuration backup or applying configuration profiles (so the "Attach Configuration Profile" is, in effect, not active). "Configuration Changed" in the Appliance Details: General Section is not activated. Printer Targets: ---------------- * If disabling SNMP for target printer communication the IAPS will not be able to verify of the printer is on-line. Check the error log in the IAPS if printing does not happen as expected. ******************************************************************** 3. Release History ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** V2.2 G53_22rc_018 2006-09-11 ******************************************************************** * ThinPrint connection service support added. * The IAPS TP can now be used with the Application Launcher, making it even easier to do intial contact and configuration. The Launcher can set devicename, ip settings and GateManager (GM) settings. * Factory default IP mode is now DHCP, with fall back to 10.0.0.1 * GateManager: It is now possible to specify a Primary and a Secondary GM Proxy address at the Configuration->GateManager page. If the IAPS cannot connect to the Primary address, the Secondary address will be used after approximately 1 minute. * LPR output added. * Secondary DNS support. New kernel firmware v62_2_07 required !! * It is now possible to specify a Primary and a Secondary GM Proxy address at the Configuration->GateManager page. If PMG cannot connect to the Primary address, the Secondary address will be used after approximately 1 minute. * If the IAPS had once received an IP address from a DHCP server and later was moved to a new location without a DHCP server, the old IP address will appear in the IP address field in the GUI eventhough it functionally uses the default static address. Now the field will reflect the default static address 10.0.0.1 ******************************************************************** V2.1 G53_21_013 2006-02-16 ******************************************************************** * This firmware is the first in which GateManager support is fully implemented. Among other things: * You can now reboot the IAPS from the GateManager Console. * Appliance Details: Specific Section now includes all IP information. ******************************************************************** V1.0 G53-20-012 2006-01-31 ******************************************************************** First public release. Technical note: IAPS ThinPrint shares the software code G53 with IAPS TNe, which is why the build number starts with G53_20.
