We’re happy to announce the latest update to Blueprint Enterprise, the premier on-premises print management platform trusted by large corporate enterprises to deliver cost savings, reduce waste, and enhance security while managing an organization’s multi-vendor printer fleet. Blueprint 5.4 Update 1 provides enhancements that improve the Sentry Print and administrative experience of the platform. Key enhancements with this release include:
Print device credentials enhancement
Blueprint 5.4 Update 1 enhances security and drives IT productivity with the ability to regularly update printer security credentials for a large number of printers at a single time via bulk import from both the Administrator UI and Print Center.
Sentry Print supported device list
Customers are now able to download and import the latest Sentry Print enabled printer models database from the Pharos Community (requires Pharos Community login). Sentry Print models are automatically updated to the most current list, enabling organizations to support and secure new Sentry Print models immediately with Blueprint without requiring manual entry or waiting for a new Blueprint update.
Sentry Print theming updates
The latest Blueprint update also improves usability and reduces confusion by maintaining an organization’s custom theming—colors, logos, text—on print devices’ Sentry Print screen in the event there is a connection outage.
Improved monitoring
The Print Center, Sentry Print, MobilePrint, and other Blueprint services make web calls to the Pharos API. A new Pharos API Status health test has been added to improve system monitoring and troubleshooting for problems related to API communications.
