Free Print Report Software

Post by **Hippy** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 4:25 pm

Anybody use or know of any free software that runs on small business server which can monitor a couple of printers?

Very basic, just needs to log which printer, which user, number of pages, date and the document name

Or can you get windows to produce a printed log from the print queue?

Have you tried this one Hippy? Although it doesn't mention Win2K3 in its platforms it's mentioned in its job description as being "designed as native Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista service"
