Deploysrs Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I have a windows 2003 domain controller with 3 printers installed and shared to all users on the domain. I need to know how I can watch all the users on the domain to see who prints to what printer and how many pages they print. Can any one tell me how I can do this? I know I can logon to the printer its self. But It doesn't show by user name on the domain.
FAT64 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 You'll need a 3rd Party utility to do all that.
cluberti Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 You could check the "Keep Printed Documents" setting in the Advanced tab of the print queue's properties. That'll keep the list (and spooled print file) until the machine or the print spooler service is restarted. Don't know if that's everything you need, but it's the only option you have built-in to Windows.
Stoic Joker Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Check out Capella's Megatrack - It ain't cheap, but that's what it's for.
nmX.Memnoch Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 You could write a script and use Log Parser 2.2 to pull the data from System Event Log. The main Event ID you're looking for is 10.
