Printing Can Cost Up to 15 Percent of Annual Revenues Dataquest figures show that the average cost of producing documents is equivalent to 40% of a company’s labour cost. Other industry analysts estimate printing to run between five and 15 percent of a company's annual revenues. Despite this huge expense and its impact on profits, most corporations just view it as “the cost of doing business” since it’s impossible to control without the right information and tools.

Release Station
Installed on an IIS Server running on your print server, this option allows an Administrator or users to login to a web page using Active Directory Authentication. It will then show the user his print jobs in a print queue or the Administrator all of the print jobs in all print queues. It displays the jobs User Name, Document Name, Printer Name, # Pages/Inches/CM, Time Submitted, Job Cost, Page Size, Colour and Duplex. It then gives the option to the Administrator or User to Delete or Resume the print job from the print queue.

Workstation Connected Printer Agent
This module is installed on a workstation and allows the Administrator to Monitor, Quota, and Restrict printing on the locally attached printer and any users printing to that workstation connected printer. This tool is great for companies that have locally attached workstations that they cannot monitor or Large Format Printers that they do not want to send large print jobs over the network to through their print server. Once the product is installed on the workstation the Workstation Connected Printer Service will appear under the services tab in Print Manager Plus. Also all printers locally attached to that workstation will appear under the printers tab. The local service can be Stopped, Started, and Restarted remotely.
