Logging and Reporting on W2k3 print server printing
Simple setup, single Windows 2003 standard server running as a printer server.
Domain users have rights to print to all of the printers setup on the printer server.
Question:
I know the event log can log printing, but I'm looking for a detailed logging and reporting solution that can give me the following:
- user account that printed the print job
- time/date stamp
- print job details (number of pages, Kb size, filename/path printed)
I'd like to be able to report as follows:
- Date Reports (date or range)
- User report
- printer report
- (and of course combinations or sorting of the above)
Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this with 3rd party software or built-in software would be excellent, thanks!
