The Print Logger PE software is intended for a print management (print control and audit printing activity) for printers at workstation, based on Windows NT operation systems family. At this time this family includes Windows 2000/XP and Windows Vista. The program inspects the print jobs on a computer, where software is installed. Main assignment of the program - collection of the information about sizes (in pages and kilobytes) of local print jobs and record it to the database for the subsequent analysis or creation reports about printing activity.
Note: if your printer has its own network interface
or connected to the hardware network print server( JetDirect or any other), you should install the printer as a local printer on the server where Print Logger is installed. You should specify the MS Standard TCP\IP port with the printer IP address as the port of the printer, or the JetDirect(or other) port for a network print-sever. Users should connect to printer using the print server as to the regular network printer: \\YourServerName\YourPrinterName.

The program can operate with three varieties of quotas:
the quota for the computer - defines a maximum quantity of pages (or money units), which can be printed by any user of the given computer on any printer of this computer;
the quota for the user - defines a maximum quantity of pages (or money units), which can be printed by the given user on any printer of this computer;
