In a little company that uses a couple of printers in a one office, you are most likely not concerned with your printing costs.

Let's see what you print mainly in your place of work. You don't know? The employees simply send jobs to the printer over your network and print server does not provide a way to audit this? Uncontrolled printer always costs you more money! It disappoints your staff, threat your company security and wastes everyone's time. In order to start saving we need a print manager utility. You should start to manage your printing. You need software that would do the following:
" Log all print tasks on all your print servers in your corporation. The log should contain data for each document about the user who sent it to the printer, printer options, ink/toner yield and the cost of this printer task.

" Store all documents that go through the printer as images for later reviewing. The first page of the file is sufficient. You cannot rely on the titles only. You know how often they do not match the content. It is very good for security factors as well. If employees know that theirs print tasks are managed, they'll think twice sooner than printing out own documents and information that was not intended to be printed in your organization.
" Control all the print servers in our organization from the one point. You need centralized print job data storage and one monitoring application, scheduled printer usage reporting, notifications and reports sending for administrators.
" Be accessible over the net and maybe from the Web for geographically-distributed divisions (with access control of course). Preferably with a web browser for simple access or with management console
" A limited set of printing info should be accessible for workers. They will see the print management in action.

" Be capable to set quotas for customers, groups, printers and for whole print server. It can lower your printing costs dramatically. Quotas for printing are very effective and powerful mechanism for price management on printing in your company. Limiting printing actions for some employees, you can really save on a paper, a toner for printers (especial at a color printing), expenses for repair and service for printers.
