As trivial and habitual as it may be, printing can become a significant article of company's overheads if a large number of printing devices are used inefficiently or for purposes other than those directly pertaining to employees' tasks. Centralized monitoring of printers and their performance can be anything but a simple task, especially if the corporate network is deployed across several standalone buildings and direct control is technically and economically inefficient. This is just the case when Print Censor Professional from UsefulSoft comes into play to resolve these issues.
Print Censor Professional is a compact and easy-to-use solution intended for network printer management and monitoring. It keeps a full track of all print jobs by a set of criteria: user and computer names, document title and size, printing timestamp, number of pages and their copies, job priority, paper size, printing mode (color or black and white), whether it was a duplex printing or not and the estimated print job cost. But the capabilities of Print Censor Professional are by no means limited to monitoring. In essence, this application is a powerful printing management solution. It allows you to set printing restrictions and quotas for devices, users and groups of users, view the contents of the completed print jobs (screenshots in BMP, JPG and EMF formats). If printing costs for a specific device are relatively high, you can specify the cost limit for this device or configure a filter that will prevent certain job types from being performed (the blocked jobs can be later unblocked by the administrator). Yet another unique feature of the program is the ability to manually reassign or copy printing jobs from one printer to another (even if you don't have the program installed on destination computers), which may come extremely handy if a printer went out of order or ran out of paper.
Make sure you don't miss Print Censor Pro and it won't miss a single print job in your company!
