Product Features

Print Queue Manager is licensed per a print server and per an Administrative Client install. At least one Client license must be purchased with any amount of server licenses. It covers unlimited users on the domain(s) and unlimited printers on the print server.
Note: The Print Server is defined as the computer which has Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 operating system installed, and where your printers are installed and shared making them accessible to all users on your domain(s) or Work Group.
Print Queue Manager installs on any Windows Server or Workstation NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008. The product install changes nothing in the Windows infrastructure and relies only upon the standard Windows print subsystem.
Print Queue Manager has two installation options. The first is a full setup which installs the Print Queue Manager service on the print server and the administrator client.
The second install option only installs the Administrator client, which would be installed on the Administrators workstation.
The Print Queue Manager service is comprised of files which actively run live on the print server capturing all print jobs.
The Print Queue Manager Administrator client comprises of files which make up the interface and tools used for administration of the product.
Print Queue Manager uses APM™ (Automated Print Management) a service that monitors the print queue it has been set on, and then applies preset rules that have been configured.
This automatic print job manipulation allows many different scenarios to be played out. Using this as a print release station to moving and coping print jobs from one print queue to another. The applications of this feature are endless on an enterprise.
If a printer fails to print a job for any reason that initiates an error back to Windows or Print Queue Manager print jobs being sent to that print queue after the error is received can automatically be Copied, or Moved to another print queue, or Paused or Deleted.
Load balancing can be done in many ways. Besides the two obvious ways of # of print jobs and print queue memory size, daisy chains of printers can be setup up and the jobs can be automatically moved between print queues. When a print queue opens up the print job can then print.
This feature allows a single print queue to be printed to, which will then copy that print job to multiple other printers.
Print Queue Manager uses two means to send messages to users and Administrators once a rule has been met. Pop-Up messages are sent via the Windows Messenger service, or our free client based workstation application can be used.
User messaging is done via Pop-Up and our free client based workstation application. The pop-up will occur once a rule has been met.
Administrator messages can be sent to a specific machine name via pop-up.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
A networking management protocol used to monitor network-attached devices. SNMP allows messages (called protocol data units) to be sent to various parts of a network. Upon receiving these messages, SNMP-compatible devices (called agents) return data stored in their Management Information Bases. This data contains the device’s configuration, status and statistical information.
Print Queue Manager can send an SNMP message once a rule has been met. This is especially helpful when a printer goes down.
The Print Queue Manager Administrative Client is an intuitive interface giving the Administrator or Help Desk Technician many advantages. The client will auto detect printers on the network which can then be inserted into Print Folders. Everything that can be done to a print job can be done to a print queue or an entire folder, such as: View, Purge, Delete, Pause, Resume, Cancel, Sort, etc.

Printers can be detected over the network by machine name. These can then be inserted into folders by the Administrator. Manage your printers by department, building, or even a domain.
Click Here to view the folders interface.
When a printer or printer folder is selected it will show all live print jobs currently in that print queue waiting to be processed. Manipulation of these print jobs can be done while they are still in the print queue.

Automated Print Management can be set on any printer that is on the print server where the Print Queue Manager Service is running. To set APM rules is easy and a wizard will walk you through the rules and messaging. APM can be set on one or multiple printers at a time.
The interface also allows for other advanced options.
