Fixes
Failed to add equipment to NDD Print MF HP using profiles
When adding equipment to NDD Print MF HP using add profiles, the interface closed unexpectedly.
Improvements
Offline printer registration
It is now possible to pre-register printers that are not yet connected to the network in NDD Print MF HP.
This feature makes it easier to deploy new printers.
As soon as the printer is connected to the network, NDD Print MF HP recognizes the device and automatically configures it according to the features chosen:
Replacing printers
In this release, we have added a new procedure to help users configure backup printers. Now, when a backup printer inherits the network address of another printer already added to NDD Print MF HP, the user can resolve this situation without having to remove and add the printer again.
Benefits:
Facilitates the management of backup printers with inherited network addresses.
Reduces the time needed to adjust network settings on duplicate printers.
Minimizes interruptions and optimizes the user experience on the NDD Print MF HP platform.
For more details on how to use the new procedure, see the documentation.
NDD Print MF Epson 5.5.1
Released on September 26
Fixes
Screen out of scale
On screens larger than 480x272, the NDD Print Client was out of scale. The problem occurred mainly on the card registration screen.
Native functionalities blocked
After adding the devices to NDD Print MF Epson, when logging in, the printer's native features were blocked, making it impossible to use.
Changes to access permissions
Password does not comply with the security policy when trying to edit the profile restrictions in the native functions ( allowing users to access only secure release, and not in the machine functions, for example).
Improvements
Using PostgreSQL Database with NDD Print MF Epson
What purpose? To configure a PostgreSQL database for use with NDD Print MF Epson.
What was done? A feature was created that allows users to configure and connect a PostgreSQL database to NDD Print MF Epson. This includes:
Database Creation: Option to create the database using NDD Print MF Epson or manually through an administration interface such as pgAdmin.
Connection Configuration: Updated configuration files to ensure proper communication between NDD Print MF Epson and the PostgreSQL database.
Service Restart: Instructions to restart the NDD Print MF Epson service and application pool, ensuring that all configurations are applied correctly.
What will be affected?
Database: Integration with PostgreSQL will affect how NDD Print MF Epson manages and stores data, offering greater flexibility for users who want to use existing PostgreSQL databases.
Configuration Files: The system configuration files (nddPrint.Epson.MF.Admin.exe.config, nddPrint.Epson.MF.Service.exe.config, Web.config) will be modified to reflect the new connection settings.
System Services: The NDD Print MF Epson service and application pool will need to be restarted after configuration.
What is the impact on the environment?
Integration and Customization: Users can integrate NDD Print MF Epson with their existing PostgreSQL infrastructures, facilitating data management and allowing for greater customization of the printing environment.
Security and Control: Only administrative users can make changes to the configuration files, ensuring greater security and control over the environment.
Better Performance: Using a dedicated database for NDD Print MF Epson is recommended to improve system performance and security.
Observations?
Permission Requirements: Configuration should be performed by users with administrative permissions, and the database user must have appropriate read and write permissions.
Usage Recommendation: It is highly recommended to use a dedicated database for NDD Print MF Epson to avoid conflicts.
Pre-configuration: All configurations must be completed before adding new printers to the system.
NDD Print Host 5.59.3
Released on September 10
Fixes
Monochrome prints being blocked after color quota balance is reached
How did the problem happen? When the balance of color quotas, configured as blocking by printer, ended, monochrome prints were blocked, even though the monochrome quotas still had a balance.
What was done to fix it? We corrected the validation process for color quota debits.

Limit the size of NDD Print Host logs
