RE: Program to Extract Certain Events from Event Viewer

[michael]

A script for this kind of stuff is easy to write; in fact, in PowerShell it is trivial.

 

If eventcomb doesn't do what you want (recommended by another responder), let us know, and I'll give you some sample code.

Hello,

 

I need to find a good program (free would be good but doesn’t have to be) to extract all print events from our print servers and be able to report on them.  We are ripping through paper, toner etc at a unbelievable rate and they want to start auditing the printers and possibly start charging students after they hit a certain amount of prints in a semester.

 

I have the print jobs being logged in the event viewer and it gives user, job name, printer, and how many pages.  Great information.  I just need something that will extract the print jobs only from the event viewer and be able to make some reports on usage.

 

Im looking at dumpsec but was wondering what everyone else was using.

 

Thanks again..
