I have found your developments and will check if them fit my purposes tomorrow, thank you very much for them. But I have noticed that in your solution you make a dump of Windows spooler log, and as I saw this log doesn't provide enough info about print job, e.g. count of printed pages is logged but the number of copies isn't. It means that if someone print 10 pages 10 times you won't see that in the log, but you will find that amount of paper and paint decreases quicker than you expect. Anyway thank you for your job, well done.<br />Anyway thank you for your job.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493084516764557059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214528614970881323.post-42875259017633608472009-07-22T13:00:50.368-05:002009-07-22T13:00:50.368-05:00Thanks for the comment and feedback Chris. Actual...Thanks for the comment and feedback Chris. Actually, all of the detail that you're looking for should be in the log files that the script creates. As I've moved on to a completely different technology area now, I don't have much time to work on this type of stuff anymore, but maybe someone else can pick up the torch and carry it forward as I did. Gotta thank Wayne for the original script!Brian E.

My only request would be a way to have it do a detailed report as well that can break down each printer and have user and filename printed for each job.<br /><br />This would help to audit color printers especially, knowing exactly who printed that 300 page color print job.The Cleanerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698352267436047590noreply@blogger.com
