MyQ Desktop Client for macOS 10.2 RC1
01 November, 2024
Improvements
NEW FEATURE Printer provisioning can automatically install print drivers and configure printers for printing to MyQ. Users will be provisioned with the correct drivers and queues they have access to. Administrators can use the Desktop Client to capture print drivers and printing defaults to utilize them for Printer provisioning.
UDP communication was replaced with WebSockets and HTTP, improving the communication capabilities of the client
Updated MDC service to use API v3
The new authentication page supports login with MyQ credentials (username + PIN, username + password) as well as Sign in with Microsoft (if enabled on the server).
Added support for client spooling to Epson devices over IPP(S). Requires MyQ Print Server 10.2.
All jobs sent by the Desktop Client to the MyQ server are authenticated from the start, this improves security and also enables roaming users to finish their pending jobs (e.g. assign account or project) from any computer they sign in.
Mako updated to version 7.3.1
Information about the MyQ server can be embedded in the Desktop Client's installer filename; this improves managed deployments such as with MDM tools and allows administrators to send users links to download the client which will automatically connect to the corresponding server once installed.
After upgrading to macOS Sonoma, the client can automatically read the local CUPS configuration and make necessary adjustments to function properly.
Open SSL updated to 3.3.0.
Added support for IPv6 environments.
MyQ Desktop Client user interface has been largely redesigned and modernized.
Allow users to generate a new PIN via the client when this option is enabled on the server.
Local printers that have target address 127.0.0.1/localhost will be ignored in Local Print Monitoring to avoid double accounting when all ports are set to be monitored.
Changes
MyQ Desktop Client now registers only one REST API application on the server (instead of separate applications for Agent and Service)
List of users removed as an authentication method
The unsecure connection option was removed, Desktop Client can operate in two modes – "Strict" for secure-only connection and "Normal" which warns the user when the MyQ server certificate is not trusted. Make sure to deploy the correct CA certificates on clients running the Desktop Client.
Client Spooling can now operate without IPPS enabled on the server side.
Bugs
LPM is not working if the language is not set to English.
Parsing of some PDF files fails because of an unknown font.
Resolved an issue in the LPM job parser on MacOS where Black & White (B&W) settings from the print dialog were not correctly reflected.
The Desktop Client might not recover properly if the signed-in user was anonymized or deleted.
When the client's login method is changed from Integrated Windows Authentication to using MyQ credentials, the user is not logged out to use the new login method.
The "Capture driver" option might not be translated to the language the client is switched to according to the system it runs on.
LPM allows printing in Color even if the Policy is set to Force Mono.
