Counting Printed Pages

Nitin Pabal

Hi all ,
i Want to monitor printing on client computers (OS XP) . I heard that when a client prints it is logged into event viewer. So I tried printing and nothing showed up. All I need to do is keep a report of how much printing is done on local computers and network printers (per user). The report should contain the name of the document, when it was printed, where it printed to and how many pages from a particular computer. I am using C# language for developing.. Please help me . Thanks in advance..

Regards ,
Nitin

Hi,

you can use this script Monitoring Print Job Status for total pages for each print job on a computer.

 strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colPrintJobs =  objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_PrintJob")
Wscript.Echo "Print Queue, Job ID, Owner, Total Pages"
For Each objPrintJob in colPrintJobs
    strPrinter = Split(objPrintJob.Name,",",-1,1)
    Wscript.Echo strPrinter(0) & ", " & _
        objPrintJob.JobID & ", " &  objPrintJob.Owner & ", " _
            & objPrintJob.TotalPages
