Print Logger is a program for the accounting of use of the printer for a Windows NT platform. Represents native Windows NT service with the remote management program. Program connecting to the event log of remote or local print server and chooses from it the print-related messages. The chosen messages writes to a log files, dividing them by days, by months, by years. Advanced graphical reports can be viewed from embedded HTTP server.
Creates text files like this: - 1. SERVER-MM.YYYY.log
- 2. SERVER-DD.MM.YYYY.log
The statistics can be generated in HTML format and you can see it using any WEB browser. Print Logger has a built - in HTTP-server and you can see all your statistics by entering the following URL: http: //MACHINE_NAME_ON_WICH _ WORKS _ PRINT _ LOGGER/ (for example: http://myhost.mydomain.com/). Further pages contain statistics by print-servers, printers and users.
How does it work? The software connects to the EventLog on remote or local print server and retrives from it all print related messages. The retrived messages are written to the log files, dividing them by print servers, days and months.
The format of a log file has following structure:- SMS, 04.01.99,10:6:7, HPLJ4000, vlad _ kv, Microsoft Word - vp-rezka.doc, 770700,9

The program creates reports in a HTML format and allows you to see them using it's own embedded HTTP-server. Log files can be analysed by other programs. The program consists of several modules co-operating among themselves using the client - server application technology. The main module is executed as a Windows NT native service and makes an extraction of the information from the print server's event logs.
There are very many programs of similar purpose and with similar or additional functions for the management of printing processes. They look wonderful, and, if you are ready to pay out $500-$1000 for the license for one server and for 50-80 % of functions, you can have similar (but not as versatile) functions as this freeware version!
