UniPrint License and Banner

Does any of the UniPrint products solve the printing issues at your organization?

You can evaluate whether UniPrint product is what your organization needs by downloading the UniPrint software from UniPrint’s website. You next install it; the installation is pretty straight forward. Next you test-run it.

The evaluation copy you download has full functionalities of a licensed copy. The only difference is, since it’s unlicensed, that when you print, it also prints a license banner diagonally across all printed pages.

If you don’t want the banner to appear during your evaluation, you can request a demo license by contacting UniPrint’s help desk or salespeople. (You can find the info on UniPrint’s website.) The demo license usually expires in 30 or 60 days.

There are two kinds of banners: One with red text and a dark background that blocks the payload print data. Version 6.1.2 and prior versions have this banner.

The other kind of banner is black text with clear background that allows one to see the payload print data. This banner appears on version 6.1.5 and later.

Bug Report: Email Printout in UniPrint (Update)

We posted a bug report about sending out printout from UniPrint using its emailing feature previously.

Of course, we do not have the source code – we have not even seen any UniPrint source code for that matter – so we won’t be able to know for sure if that’s the problem.

We spoke to our internal developers. They suspected that the EnableSsl property of the smtp client instance has not been set to true. If it is, our internal developers said the bug should be an easy one to fix. You just need to add one line of code.

Hope that the UniPrint developers take note of this.

Bug Report: Email Printout in UniPrint

Scenario:
Our previous article (How to use the email feature in UniPrint?) shows you how to set up and use the nice feature in UniPrint that lets you email your printout to someone directly when you print to the Uniprint printer. The setup was based on not checking the Server requires authentication checkbox.

 

However, because of security reasons, email servers nowadays seldom forfeits authentication prior to sending an email. So check the Server requires authentication checkbox now, and a window pops up, asking for credentials. Fill in the user, password, and confirm the password, then click OK. If you need to change the credentials later, just click the Set credentials button.

 

Now log on to the UniPrint Server via a remote session (Microsoft’s Terminal Services RDP connection, or Citrix’s ICA connection. Open up a document (or type something in Notepad), and click print. When the printer dialogue shows up, select the Uniprint printer (if you have more than one printer installed), and click the preferences button. The Uniprint driver dialogue box show up.

 

Click the Email tab. Fill in all the fields, or at least the TO: field, and click OK to close the UniPrint Driver dialog box. Next click Print on the Printer dialog box. Then you’ll get this error message box: UniPrint was unable to send your document to the desired recipients.

 

Versions Affected:
This bug has been confirmed to occur in UniPrint Server 6.1.5, and is expected to occur in all previous versions of 6.x.

Workarounds:
None at this time.

Updates:
None at this time.

Bug Report: UniPrint Server 6.1.5

Scenario:
On a machine installed with UniPrint Server, from the Printers and Faxes folder, right-click on the UniPrint folder and choose Properties.

On the properties window, click the Security tab, and you’ll see the usual groups here: Adminsitrators, System, and UPUniPrint. Now click Add to add another group (e.g. Accounting). This newly added group stays with the UniPrint printer.
