O&K Print Watch

O&K Print Watch is ideally suited to be used in a corporate environment. You see, this is a printer monitor and print quota software. And that means that small and large companies can use the application to monitor all printers and print jobs, set printing quotas, and reduce printing costs.

The print server requirements for running O&K Print Watch are as follows: Windows operating system (32 or 64-bit edition; anything from XP and 2000 up to 2 and Server 2012), 100MB of free disk space or more, MS SQL Server 2005 Express or higher, any printer that supports the PCL (version 3, 4, 5, 5E, 5C, 6(XL), HP-GL/2, POSTSCRIPT (level 2 and 3), ESC/Page, ESC/P(with Remote Mode Commands), ESC/P2, 9-Pin ESC/P, FX, Zj-Stream, CPCA, BJL, and ZIMF drivers.

A setup wizard will help you install O&K Print Watch on a Windows-powered machine. This wizard will install two components: a service that will be installed on a print server and will intercept all print events, log them to the database, and control the print server; and a user interface that displays print statistics and can be used to control the print server.
As mentioned above, having a database program is a requirement for running O&K Print Watch. The setup wizard comes with an auto-install for S SQL Server 2012 LocalDB and MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.

From a functionality point of view, you can expect to get the following from O&K Print Watch: monitor all print jobs; view detailed logs for all print jobs; define printing quotas; specify how each print job costs; block print jobs based on keywords, number of pages, cost, or color; capture and save print jobs as a PDF or as an image file; manage all printers from a central location. You can enjoy all this functionality for free for a trial period of 30 days. When this evaluation period is over, you will have to get a license to keep using O&K Print Watch.

Don’t waste money on needless print jobs. Use O&K Print Watch to monitor all the printers, set quotas and print limits, and save money on printing.
