Feature Summary

• Tracking
  Printer Peer is a complete printing audit solution. It records the date, time, user, printer, document name, document size, color, duplex, pages actually printed and the cost for each job.
• Control
  Printer Peer allows you to implement a flexible quota system. You can set a per-page price for each printer, in any currency. When user quota is exceeded you can choose whether to let the job print or delete it. Also, the user can be notified when the job is denied or when the balance is low.
• Reports
  Generate reports based on printing by user or by printer. The reports are generated in the user-friendly HTML format or you can extract raw data to analyze it yourself.
• Print Accounting
  Add a balance to a user's account for his/her quota. As the user prints, the amount is decreased with the job cost. You can automatically add/reset user credit at intervals you specify.
• Database
  Printer Peer works with an underlying Microsoft Access database. The information is not encrypted so you can export it and use it with any tool you like.
