Regulate Printer Usage with O&K Print Watch
Version 4.00 allows users to specify printing "budgets" for users, groups and printers and limit document printing by pages, cost or keywords used in the name of a document
O&K Software today announces the release of O&K Print Watch 4.00. Combing the features of a network print spooler and a print job register, this program lets users control print jobs, paper usage and collect statistics from the print servers. The latter is helpful in creating a company-wide chargeback plan that ensures that all users pay their fair share of the printing budget.
Unlike the standard print manager in Windows, O&K Print Watch correctly counts the number of printed pages and offers an excellent mechanism to set limits on printer usage. O&K Print Watch creates a wide array of reports, which are available for viewing even from a web browser. These features give users full control over any printer in a home or corporate network.
What's New in Version 4.00?
New to version 4.00 is a radically improved mechanism that enables users to set limits on printer usage and an ability to view printed jobs as images. Users will also discover an ability to organize users into groups and set up printing rules for each group individually.
Now you can specify a printing "budget" by setting limits on the number of pages that can be printed or the total cost of a printed document. Let's say, for example, your employees are printing too many images on an expensive laser printer. You can set up a rule to limit printing based on the number of pages in a document. Or, you can specify keywords and no document with these keywords in its name will ever be printed. If you would like to know what was in the document named "Doc1.doc", you can select the option that saves a print job as an image and open an image of a printed document in a built-in image viewer.
Pricing and Availability
O&K Print Watch 4.00 runs under Windows NT4/2000/XP/Server 2003. The company offers a flexible licensing policy based on the number of printers that can be monitored by the program (please, refer to http://www.prnwatch.com/registration.html).
