Print Manager Plus is a software based print management product that comes as a Basic, Standard or Premium Edition, which is licensed per printer audited. The product install changes nothing in the Windows infrastructure and relies only upon the standard Windows print subsystem. Larger Enterprises running Windows Cluster, Core Services, Terminal Services or CITRIX based networks are also fully supported.
The scalability of Print Manager Plus has been engineered for any size Workgroup, Network, or Enterprise. If you are a small business with only 2 printers or a business with a hundred users, or an entire enterprise with multiple locations and thousands of users and printers, Print Manager Plus can be easily installed and administered. Scalable to any size, it will audit, track, restrict, and secure your printing infrastructure.
The Product usability is simple, with an easy installation and setup, and complete integration with Windows; Print Manager Plus will literally run itself after setup.
The complete data and control provided by the product will save you thousands of dollars in printing costs. Our core product offering value has been increased by also offering a Basic, Standard and Premium Edition with Advanced Accounting, Reporting, and Web Based features. ROI is immediate and robust, and significantly creates an effect on budgets, well above its initial cost.
At Print Manager, we believe in great technology. We believe great technology can and should delight people. And we believe in going the extra mile for our users and making the perfect product. We hate waste and the negative effects on our environment, which comes from a printer industry geared to sell you more paper, more ink and more printers. They are not incented to give you control over this waste, but we are. We believe that great technology can put IT in control of waste and let you get on with your job.

Printers supported by Print Manager Plus are in the hundreds due to the method in which Print Manager Plus parses the actual spooled print language file that the printer hardware deciphers to actually print the job. This requires parsing separate print languages that the printer manufacturers write for their hardware, in turn allowing Print Manager Plus to track the data needed for a complete audit of all printing traffic and for any printer type.
Click Here to view a current list of printer languages supported.
Print Jobs being routed through a Windows Print Server and Workstation will all be audited no matter what operating system the print job is originating from. Once the print job has spooled through the print driver auditing of network sources is completed.
Print Job data is translated into specific datasets that can be used for full featured auditing and cost analysis.
The Web-based reports allows you plan and execute your budget needs and flow data with ease and precision.
Print Manager Plus has been fully integrated with Active Directory. The product can be setup to have multiple views of the interface. Our Admin Rights allows for a master Administrator to assign lower lever Managers, rights to the product.
The Print Manager Plus interface is divided up by tabs. These tabs are Users, User Groups, Organizational Units, Client Billing, Printers, Services, and Web and Reporting.
If using Active Directory Print Manager Plus will automatically display Users, User Groups, Organizational Units, and Printers. If using a Workgroup or LDAP, Print Manager Plus will display Users and Printers.
Hard Quotas can be set on a single user or multiple users via user groups, and organizational units. Advanced (secondary Cash Quotas) quotas can also be set when charging for printing. Budgets can be set on User Groups, and Organizational Units, essentially setting a soft quota.
Printing Restrictions or Rules can be set by printer or per users directly or user groups, and organizational units. Printing Rules can be created and saved, allowing multiple restrictions to be set and placed in a selected order.
The Release Station is a web portal designed to allow jobs held for release by Print Manager Plus rule, restriction or setting to be viewed and released from the Web by the End User, Manager or Administrator depending on configuration.
Print Manager Plus has several ways notifications can be sent to an end user and Administrator when a specific event occurs. Notifications can be delivered through a desktop-based Print Client Tray icon, Pop-Up Message, Email, and by logging into the Web Portal.
Through the Web Portal allow users to login from inside or out of your intranet through a web interface. Once they login using their network credentials they are walked through a simple wizard that allows them to upload or select an existing document, choose a printer and print options, and then submit the print job for printing:
Upload and submit print jobs from the following supported sources
The User can deduct the print job from their existing Print Manager Plus Cash Balance or pay for the individual job through PayPal or Credit Card transaction. The User can also purchase additional printing credits within the same interface.
Professional Services organizations have the need to bill back their printing expenses to their clients, projects or departments, and Print Manager Plus offers that technology. This complete software based billing system will support all of your printing and billing needs. It changes nothing on your current network configuration and its transparency and ease of use complements any level of user.
The software allows for Clients, Accounts and Codes to be billed back to a central database each time a user prints from their workstation or through our Web Portal from a mobile device. Keeping track of all print job characteristics allows it to create statements for automatic emailing.
An object oriented set of .NET APIs providing access to basic user directory and tracking information for Print Manager Plus.
The following types of objects can be queried and configured:
Settings and options can be viewed, changed and set on each object type as supported.
