What's New in PaperCut 25.0?
Advanced Scan Actions
We are now introducing Advanced Scan Actions, which will allow for the collection of more metadata through the introduction of new field types:
-
New look: intuitive new tabbed design so you can create scan actions quickly.
-
Customizable metadata: capture the exact info you need from your users.
-
CSV Data Source Lookup: use external data for your document metadata
-
Workflow integrations: unlock streamlined scanning processes and automated workflows (like sending pre-named scans to a specific cloud folder)
Advanced Scan to Fax for Linux
For IT Admins and organizations running Linux, who need secure, intelligent fax integration without the operational and financial burden of hybrid IT environments.
PaperCut’s fully integrated Advanced Scan to Fax solution for Linux leverages the security, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of open-source infrastructure to simplify IT and deliver a consistent, reliable experience.
Advanced Scan to Fax for Lexmark
Empower Lexmark devices to become comprehensive document communication hubs, offering seamless and secure faxing directly from the touchscreen.
-
Enhanced Security and Compliance: Healthcare, legal, financial services, government, and any organization dealing with sensitive data (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS compliance).
-
Richer Functionality and User Experience: Organizations with higher faxing volumes, complex workflows, or a need for greater user convenience.
-
Centralized Management and Reporting: IT administrators and managers who need comprehensive oversight of all document activities, including faxing, from a single platform.

Infrastructure Upgrade
This work is not user-facing, you won’t see changes in the UI, but it’s absolutely critical. It reflects our security-first approach:
-
Proactively strengthening our defenses to stay ahead of threats
-
Reducing our vulnerability surface to minimise risk
-
Aligning with modern security standards and long-term supported frameworks
-
Laying a resilient foundation to confidently build and release future features
-
Maintaining customer trust with a more reliable and scalable platform
While these updates are largely invisible to end users, they represent months of engineering effort and are key to PaperCut’s long-term health and velocity.
SQL Driver Update
What’s changing?
-
Updated drivers: We're no longer shipping outdated Microsoft SQL or PostgreSQL drivers. Endorsed drivers are now packaged in a dedicated directory for easier management.
-
Cleaner structure: On new installs, drivers now live in
/repository/database-drivers/. On upgrades, existing drivers are safely relocated to maintain functionality without breaking connections. -
More visibility: Admins can now view driver and database versions directly in the UI, and receive proactive alerts when drivers are outdated.
-
Simplified upgrades: Step-by-step documentation and video guidance will walk admins through manually updating to the latest endorsed drivers.
And this will result in;
-
Enhanced security – Reduces risks from outdated components
-
Improved performance – Especially in high-load or enterprise-scale environments
-
Better compatibility – Fewer issues with newer database versions
-
Reduced support load – Prevents recurring driver-related incidents
This is a key milestone in modernizing the PaperCut MF platform—and a valuable talking point for resellers focused on system stability, performance, and best-practice infrastructure.
