Maintenance Update ezeep Blue Backend: This maintenance deployment contains several solutions related to the signup of organizations, logging in with a Microsoft Account, automatically creating subscriptions, and allowing admins to log out from their Admin portal.

Signup for ezeep Blue organization without Azure Marketplace

Feature Update: Customers are now able to create ezeep Blue organizations without the need for an Azure AD or permissions to order through the Azure Marketplace. This allows everyone to start their own ezeep Blue account, invite others and share their printers.

Improved performance of database access

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue backend: We deployed a hotfix that improves the performance of database accesses and helps with the sorting and filtering of users in the frontend.

Improved user experience during the invitation and sign in

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue backend: This deployment improved the user experience during the invitation acceptance process and authentication when signing in.

Improved local printer access permission logic

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue backend: We updated how we determine the users that are allowed to print to their own local printers.

Improved creation of local printers

Maintenance Update ezeep Print App: The ezeep Print App for Windows (version 2.1.26) resolves an issue surrounding local printer creation.

Enhanced driver information handling in combination with print API and ezeep Hub

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue backend: The backend can now differentiate to a greater detail between printers from a Windows connector and from the ezeep Hub. This is necessary to select the correct printer driver for Cloud Rendering and to make the correct printer properties available to the user in the Print Apps.

Easier filtering and searching of information

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue frontend: This deployment improved some issues with displaying information by improving filtering and searching for information in the ezeep Admin Portal.

Print API released to customers

Improved Cloud Rendering infrastructure and Azure Marketplace integration

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue backend: We updated the cloud rendering infrastructure and closed a removed future potential problem with the Azure Marketplace integration.

Improved token handling

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue Print App for Windows: We released version 2.1.25 of the ezeep Blue Print App for Windows. It contains an improved token handling algorithm which reduces the number of related requests to the ezeep Blue backend.

A clearer interface simplifies print management

Maintenance Update ezeep Blue frontend: This update changes how Azure AD groups are shown in the user information dialog. It adds a link to download the ezeep Connector to the Local Printer Support page and includes other minor layout improvements. This update also corrects some behavior related to searches and printer filters.

ezeep for Azure becomes ezeep Blue

A few weeks ago, we introduced ezeep groups and the ability to invite users by email address. We are now working on creating an ezeep organization without Microsoft Azure. We will release multiple apps in the upcoming weeks that will be attractive to companies that have nothing to do with Azure. That’s why we decided to rename our service ezeep for Azure to ezeep Blue. This is an intermediary step to reach our goal to merge our three cloud printing platforms into one platform under the name ezeep.
