Managing Printer Usage in Organizations
Friday, May 29th, 2009By Alexander Egorov
Companies spend hundreds of dollars on printing supplies alone every year. How much of those resources are wasted because of duplicate, unnecessary printing jobs, or printing of personal matters by employees? You’ll never know until taking your printer usage under close supervision.
Controlling printer usage and learning who prints what is not exactly simple in Windows at least if you try to get by with built-in tools. However, if you look around, it is possible to find products made specifically for the task. While some products offer passive monitoring only of a stand-alone printer attached to a single PC, there are products on the market that can manage all printers connected to every workstation on your entire LAN. One of those products allowing you controlling printer usage is Print Censor Professional.
Control your printer use and prevent excessive printer usage. Print Censor Professional by UsefulSoft http://usefulsoft.com/print-censor allows easily viewing, controlling and restricting printer usage on the LAN, helping you save hundreds of dollars in printer refills by getting rid of duplicate, restricted and unauthorized print jobs. The printer usage monitor can be controlled easily from any computer on the LAN. Set group and user restrictions on printer usage, assign and modify printing quotas, pause or stop new print jobs, etc.
Get control of your printing costs! Print Censor Professional offers highly adjustable printing cost settings based on media type and size, type and name of each printer on your LAN. You can put on hold or moderate new print jobs before they go through, which leads to considerable savings in case of large printing jobs and expensive toners and media. Savings are easy when you control printer usage with Print Censor Professional.
Control how many jobs or sheets each user or group of users on your LAN can print. Quotas and restrictions are easy to set and to lift without leaving a chair: Print Censor Professional allows controlling printer usage from any network computer on your LAN. View who printed what, when, and on which printer with Print Censor Professional’s advanced printer usage monitor combined with a comprehensive log analyzer.
Controlling multiple printers is just as easy as managing a single one. The advanced print queue manager controls all connected computers, and allows copying and transferring of printing jobs between the printers.
