XP-like GUI

Restrictions

Print Manager Plus 2010 offers you the freedom to keep track of multiple users and set restrictions for each one. You may allow unlimited printing or limit by account balance and set up authentication parameters (use Active Directory or LDAP password for authentication or a custom one).You may deny printing based on a custom number of pages, title, color or black and white editions, day/time, number of copies and reprinted files, and a certain amount of money. Global restrictions can also be applied for multiple users.A set of actions can be defined for deleting, pausing or verifying the print job using different filters (page count and page exceeded, duplicate printing, duplex restrictions).

Client billing, printers and reports

Print Manager Plus 2010 lets you bill users, view detailed information about each printer (e.g. printer, Windows name, printer type, cost per page, number of pages) and configure the selected one by selecting the printer type (standard, larger format or multifunctional), setting up restrictions, assigning the current printer to a group, editing printer information (e.g. name, manufacturer, driver type), altering authentication parameters, and allowing print job verification.Various reports can be generated related to users, user groups, servers, client accounts, printers, bandwidth, graphs, savings, administration, clients, and passwords. Reports can be printed or exported to PDF, HTML, XLS, XLSX, TXT, RTF, CSV, XML, or other file format.
