An organisation may have network of printers. Users, based on printing needs, time to time, would have given multiple copies of print. However, no mechanism exist locally to track the pages printed per printer unless Managed Print Services is incorporated. If the pages print per printer is tracked based on the IP’s from which the print is given, accountability can be implemented and that leads to a step towards “go green” initiative.
Challenge: Develop a Print Management Software which routes through all the prints to the designated printers, but by capturing the information like hostname, IP from which the print is given, MAC address, number of pages, single sided or double sided, colour or mono (black), and the file name with its type (eg. .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .pdf, .jpg, .gif, etc).
