Uniprint 9.2 Print Center Update 5.0.26

• This hot-fix should be applied to installations using Uniprint Suite 9.2. The Print Center and API update will affect the use of Print Center for the time it takes to perform the update. This should only take a few minutes to complete.

Installation

The update affects the Print Center and should be applied to all machines running the Pharos API Service and Print Center Web components.

The Print Center is offered as an update via the Updater Service. For servers with access to the Internet, the update is automatically available via the Updater Service context in Pharos Administrator.

To apply the update on servers which do not have access to the Internet:

1. Copy the Uniprint.PrintCenter.5.0.26.16.nupkg file and paste into the following location on the Principal Server (the server hosting the Pharos Database Service):
   \ProgramData\PharosSystems\UpdaterService\cache-v2.0\.

2. Note: Copying the package file onto the Principal Server will make the package available to all Pharos API Servers on the site. If you are unable to copy the package to the Principal Server, then it will need to be copied to the same ..\cache-v2.0\ location on each Server where the Pharos API is installed.

3. Open the Pharos Administrator application and access the Updater Service context under System.

4. The Print Center package should now be listed as an update for all Print Center/Pharos API machines.

5. Click to Download, and then Install the package on all Pharos API Servers.

Note: If you have the Print Center Web component installed on a separate ARR web server, you will need to manually update the Web Server component to complete this update. To do so, copy the Print Center MSI installer from the Pharos\Bin folder on the Pharos API server to the Pharos\Bin folder on the ARR server. Then run the MSI on the ARR server.

The application of this update constitutes acceptance of the conditions specified in your license agreement. To view the license agreement, please refer to the  license.rtf file on your Pharos CD.

Details

This update addresses the following issues:

• Security Update - Mandatory. Includes a security update to address a known security issue and must be applied to all Pharos API Servers. Please note:

  • Following the application of this update the 'Restart Pharos API' button (to apply SSO changes) under Print Center Settings in Pharos Administrator application will no longer work - IIS must be manually restarted for SSO settings to be applied. Please see the updated  SSO Technote  for new instructions.

  • This update requires MobilePrint version 2.5.0 or later (if used).

  • Site Security Utility. A new tool is available to use with 5.0.26 or later Print Center/Pharos API. This optional but recommended tool adds further protection to credentials used by the Pharos API for communication between Pharos API instances and for MobilePrint communication with Pharos API. The tool and instructions can be downloaded from  Uniprint Service Packs and Hot Fixes

  • For more details please see:  Uniprint 9.2 Release Notes

• Security Update - Sentry Print Services. . A DotNet security update for the Secure Printer Provisioning Service removes dependency on an older version of DotNet Core, and implements support for DotNet Core 6.  Warning: Following application of this update, securing of devices for Sentry Print will not function until the  dotnet-hosting-6.0.15-win.exe hosting bundle (or a later version of 6.x) is installed on Pharos API Servers. The dotnet-hosting bundle can be found on the Uniprint hot fixes downloads page:  Uniprint Service Packs and Hot Fixes

• Security Update - change to Gmail support in MobilePrint. The Print Center has been updated to support changes in MobilePrint 2.4.4 and later, when using Google Mail as the Incoming Mail Server. Google has introduced additional security measures which affect new setups of MobilePrint and renewal of authorization tokens. These changes result in authorization attempts being blocked by Google when configuring MobilePrint to use Google Mail (currently authorized instances continue to function until token renewal time). This update implements the required changes to work with Google's new security measures. This Print Center update requires MobilePrint 2.5.0 or later due to additional security changes.
