Pushing the button twice will now print the Server Report instead, as previously, the parameter list only. - The connected printer's serial number, if NPS succeeds obtaining it, is displayed in the Printer capabilities section on the web pages and in the server report. Corrected problems in version 7.10 ================================== - Sometimes TN5250e printouts can stop in the middle with the AS400 spoolfile status WTR (writing) and the printer on-line and waiting for print data. This problem is corrected. - Enhanced the printer status reporting and handling in TN5250e. - Corrected a problem where downloaded fonts were discarded in the IPDS PostScript driver. - Corrected a problem with IM-image scaling in the IPDS PCL driver. The IM-images were sometimes both vertically and horizontally replicated. - Downloaded IPDS fonts could get mixed up in the PCL driver. This could occur if two printouts, with downloaded fonts, is separated with more than 10 seconds. - The Font Name field of the PCL Font Header is now zero padded in the IPDS PCL driver. - Bugfix in RawTCP printing. If the TCP connection died before all data was acknowledged by the printer then the job could become hanging, occupying the print port until the NPS was restarted. - Removed a discrepancy between the number of print jobs presented on the "Print Jobs" page and the number of jobs actually written (and presented in the job log). - Corrected a problem which could result in print jobs being printed out of order, i.e. not in the order they arrived at the print server. - There was a problem with some USB printers, including the HP K550. The NPS did not recognize the printer. This problem is now solved. - Secondary printer functionality now works as expected again. - Solved problem with Telnet sometimes stopping. - LPD printing from Windows under certain circumstances could result in a job being printed twice. This has now been corrected. - Solved a problem which could result in the NPS hanging during start up. - Some erranous links on the Support and Troublesteps pages have been corrected. - Improvements in the USB stack. - Updating of detailed status on webpage, telnet-status and ftp-status has been improved. - Solved a bug in FTP. When obtaining the status file from the NPS sometimes the NPS would try to send data on the data connection before the data connection was actually established. When this happened the client would not get a status file. Limitations in version 7.10 =========================== - The delete button in the web-interface does not work for the usb-port - Support for Checksums in Netware is not implemented. - Axis ThinWizard is the recommended management tool to use with this print server. HP WebJetadmin is neither tested nor supported with this release. - FW 7.00 and later are not fully compatible with TW 3.00. The Print Server name will be missing and the Status reported by TW 3.0 will be wrong. For full functionality please use TW 3.04, or higher. - Firmware release 7.00 and onwards only supports print servers with Axis brand name.
