Known Issues and Limitations
PMC Known Issues and Limitations
API
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.21 | Locations can be created/update via API using incorrect formats for the combination of locationData & locationType parameters. |
| 3.0 | Enabling plain API port on API service doesn’t open port 7303. Workaround is to restart the server hosting the API service. |
Core
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.44 | When log4j2.xml file is updated, the log level on server is set to the value of pmcLogLevel parameter in this file. |
| 3.38 | Offline server cache is currently not working as intended and is under review. |
| 3.10 | When using loadbalancer without sticky session, webclients are not supported. |
| 3.0 | In some configurations, expired jobs not printed counts as printed in reports. |
| 3.0 | Page range print option does not work for TCP and IPP protocols. |
Authentication
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
3.43 | For Microsoft Entra and Okta identity providers, SAML is supported when using Service Account configuration. |
3.40 | Nested/transitional LDAP group memberships are not supported for ACL. Users must be direct members of the group configured in the respective ACL. |
3.26 | Cannot update an access control entry related to an inactive authentication provider. |
| 3.11 | Duplicate Card IDs can be set for the same user via PMC Web UI & API. |
| 3.10 | Google authentication limited to use with Chromebooks for user creation. |
| 3.0 | IPP can in some configurations fail with “Authentication error” for Windows workstations joined an Azure domain with Azure AD configured in PMC. Workaround: Use PMC Client to distribute IPP queues or specify simple username in IPP path. |
| 3.0 | Azure AD authentication does not support multi-factor authentication “MFA”. To enable 1FA authentication if 2FA is required, is to whitelist the PMC server making authentication requests in Azure. Alternative is to use the “One-time password” feature in PMC or Azure/ADFS single-sign-on. |
| 3.0 | Azure AD Authentication – user cannot login to PMC if they have a ‘sharepoint admin’ role in Azure AD. |
PMC Web UI
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.39 | When using a native scanning feature such as "Scan to my email," the scan job may initially appear as a print job type on the "My documents" page until fully processed. |
| 3.20 | Errors appear on Web UI when making modifications concurrently on Access Control by multiple users on the same customer. |
| 3.0 | Internal Error in PMC Web UI when trying to delete pending print job from shutdown PMC Client running local storage. |
| 3.0 | PMC Web UI screen may become unresponsive after deleting a pending job from a storage which is offline/no longer available. |
Mobile Printing
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.24 | Airprint is not working with iOs version 15.5 |
PMC Client
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.27 | In case of a heavy load, PMC may start additional nodes and use them to store documents submitted to the cloud. After the load returns to normal, these nodes will shut down in order to conserve resources. As the documents are not stored in a shared cache, it is not possible to release a document stored on a terminated node. This problem can be solved by submitting the document(s) again. |
| 3.19 | The default printer within PMC Client may not always be set. |
| 3.15 | At the moment, you can not set up any default driver options on the PMC Client for Mac OS. For instance, BW/color and simplex/duplex as default. This is possible on the Windows PMC lient. |
| 3.0 | the print queues are not removed if uninstalling just after printing and before logout. |
| 3.0 | For Citrix thin clients or Windows Terminal Services clients, user or location specific printers are not supported. Print queues created by the PMC Client on Windows thin clients, are all created as shared among all sessions on the Citrix or Terminal Services host. When the PMC Client detects the session is running in a Terminal Services session, it will not delete printers on custom logout. |
| 3.0 | macOS PMC Client – print + staple using Adobe Reader DC with collate option not working as expected. |
Search
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|

Security
| PMC Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.8 | TLS 1.3 cannot be enabled for channel communications over Port 2560 (messaging between Primary and Secondary Gateway, PMC Client in “Local Storage” mode and Primary) – Limitation removed from version 3.24 |
