Local printer tracking

The Pcounter Workstation Manager utility (WSManager) is used to setup print tracking on workstations that have local printers configured (ie. USB, Parallel, IP) without the need to setup Pcounter Ports on the workstations.

The Pcounter Printer Control service (PCOUNTER.EXE) can be used as a low profile print monitor to track local printers attached to workstations.  All data is integrated into the Pcounter reporting structure.

  • Requires Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, 2000 Professional, XP Professional, or Vista.
  • Pcounter Popup and account balances are supported.
  • Configurable page count limits are available to prevent users from printing larger jobs on local printers.
  • Printer configuration profiles are available to simplify configuration of common printers on workstations.
  • WSManager is used to distribute software and configuration data to workstations.
  • It is not necessary to "touch" any workstations in order to configure local print tracking.

The trial version included with the Pcounter download distribution supports a limit of 5 workstations.  Please contact A.N.D. for workstation pricing information, or choose Help, How to buy Pcounter from the Pcontrol menu (version 2.15 or later).
