UniPrint 4.50 for RISC OS 5.30 compatibility and more

RCI is pleased to announce that UniPrint will be seeing a significant update this year – the first chargeable one in over ten years!

Provisionally titled UniPrint 4.5, it updates the software to support modern versions of RISC OS and Windows, and we’re looking to make it handle better with modern machines, implementing ideas from user over the years. UniPrint 4.5 costs 25ukp as an upgrade, and cover use on new computers.

Note that development of 4.50 has taken a little longer than expected, so the show version will add support for RISC OS 5.30 (to ensure you can keep on using UniPrint as always), but the other features will follow afterwards with no further charge.

The update will be available on !Store and at the Wakefield show. As UniPrint has traditionally been hard to send via email due to ISPs blocking PC executables (even in zips), !Store is probably the best way to receive UniPrint in 2024.

I see that PlingStore → UniPrint/UniServer → Product details → 4.50 → Latest version details still describes delays to offering the new version. Can you give an indication of progress?

The current download works of Uniprint works with RISC OS 5.3x fine.

I think there’s a problem with plingstore right now. If you go to https://www.plingstore.org.uk/ you’ll get a privacy error due to a self-signed certificate, followed by the Apache 2 Test Page (powered by CentOS).

You have to know the correct entry point is http://www.plingstore.org.uk/exec/ps/home.aw (or just Google it).

And you’ll note that there are no styles or images. No buttons. It was… interesting… uploading an update to Tea just now with wandering my mouse around to see if I could find where the “update this” button was in the absence of graphics.

Do we blame the Ruskies? ;)
