Printer Peer

Printer Peer is a professional tool that allows IT administrators to quota and track user and printer usage.

Printers, ink, toner and paper are valuable resources and the cost associated to irresponsible printing may be as much as 40% of the total cost of ownership of computer systems. Taking control over the usage of these resources allows you to significantly cut the costs and make the job easier for IT administrators and end users.
Printer Peer's server-based system can be installed very easily even by inexperienced personnel. The installation does not require any alteration of existing networks and does not require special hardware or software. Printer Peer is the only product you need in order to add auditing and quota management functionality to your corporate network.
Printer Peer was designed with security in mind, from the ground up. Being a server-based solution, the user cannot tamper with the proper functionality of the program in any way because there is nothing to install on the client machine. Printer Peer works by intercepting the incoming communication that contains information to be printed, at the server level. Other similar products claim that their client-side implementations are tamper-resistant. In practice, there is always a way to get around such schemes, so be careful about this aspect when evaluating similar products.
