Notarized macOS Print Scout for Pharos Cloud

macOS Print Scout Enhancements

The September 2022 version of macOS Print Scout (v2.22.8.100)  has been updated with the following enhancements:

• Comply with Apple's new notarization requirements. The latest release, macOS Print Scout v2.22.105.100, ensures that the software can be installed on macOS 10.15 to macOS 13 without any warnings of malicious software.

• Replace the HP UPD PCL 5 print driver with Apple's AirPrint technology. The HP UPD PCL 5 print driver has been replaced with Apple's AirPrint technology, which is used by Print Scout to deliver print jobs to printers when Secure Release is configured for Local Connector. It is important to note that for organizations using Cloud Connector, the Pharos Secure Printer uses the IPP Everywhere (IPP/E) protocol. Additionally, Pharos Direct Print also now supports the Apple AirPrint technology.

Notes
