New features

- In Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) and Remote Desktop Server (RDS) environments Printix Client can now use alternate methods to establish who the printing user is, when this is not the signed in user. Check Allow computer to look up users on the Computer properties page for the Printix Client running on the WVD/RDS computer.
Improvements
- Configuring group membership for multiple print queues has been made easier.
See also: How to add print queues to a group. - To make reading easier the header row now stays in place during scrolling on the pages: Networks, Printers, Print queues, Users, Computers and Groups.
- On Network properties you can select the Printers tab to see list of printers on the network.
- On the Printers page you can view Print queues and Printer status in the same improved way as on the Sites page.
- To prevent misconfiguration the Network type checkbox Home office on the Network properties page, is now accompanied by the text link: Adding home office groups will check this for relevant networks. Do NOT check this manually!
- For partner created tenants the Subscription page no longer includes the Billing and Transactions tab.
- Printix Go. To allow easy return to the printer's home screen, a new Home icon (button) is featured on the Print screen's top left corner.
- Printix Chromebook. Support for more paper sizes and possible to control the default paper size. Easier to get logs.
- All manuals updated to reflect that Microsoft Intune is now part of Microsoft Endpoint Manager. New sections on how to use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to deploy Printix App for Android and Printix App for iOS/iPadOS.
Fixes
- Printix Client now prevents creation of infinite copies of print queues. This is to deal with situations seen in the past when on some computers there was a native WSD print queue that pointed to a Printix printer (IP address). When Convert print queue was enabled, Printix Client would convert the WSD print queue to a Printix print queue. But on some computers the WSD print queue was recreated, but with (Copy 1) appended to the original name. Printix Client would then convert that print queue also, and a new WSD print queue would be created (Copy 2) and so forth.
- After sign in to Printix Client for Windows, the initial attempt to upload print drivers could sometimes fail because of a timing issue. If the initial attempt failed, the print driver would still be uploaded following a restart of the Printix Service or computer.
- A printer is registered as a color printer if it reports color toner levels. For printers that does not report toner levels, like Brother printers, this could result in a color printer not being registered as supporting color. Now Printix Client also checks if the printer reports a color impression counter larger than 0. If it does, the printer, like Brother MFC-L3770CDW, is registered as a color printer.
- Printix Redirector did not always start automatically after it updated to a new version of itself.

- This version and earlier of Printix App on iPhone 7 and above with iOS 13 or later, does NOT support register NFC tag. Pending an update to third-party framework (PP-5126).
