PrintSniffer is a software that allow system administrator to monitor and control printing in their corporate network. Versatile logging and reporting features allow for a clear view of what is being printed, how much paper is consumed, etc. In order to avoid vast printing expenses system administrators can setup alerts for themselves and finally limit employee's ability to print larger documents. Unless PS is setup to limit printing, it works in undercover mode and cannot be detected. Future versions of PS will allow to take into consideration contents of the documents printed and thus prevent employees from printing classified company's information and taking it home.
In real-time PrintSniffer displays the following information about printing jobs:
-Name of the user who created the job ;
-User's computer name where the job was created;
-When the job was created;
-How many pages was printed;
-How big in bytes was the document;
-What application was used to print.
