I currently use Print Manager Plus and have really had no issues and if I did I sent in an email and they were able to help out. It will track print jobs from any printer, you can set messages to be displayed on the person computer screen if you want, you can set price per page on a per printer level and there are dozens of reports, from a single user to a single printer and even at the workstation level. You can if you want to set a quota on a per person level or if you have AD running you could set it at the group level or just let the software monitor the jobs with no quota involved.

You get what printer was used and who printed to it, as well as how many pages (I think). Then again it might be too kludgy for what you're looking for.

Not being used publicly, just need to track codes on a wide range of printers, plotters, copiers etc. All devices are actual printers on a 2003 Print Server. It is preferable to be able to set cost per print based on size or specific printer. Reporting based on user code is a must Thanks Greg ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
