Printer usage monitoring is essential in almost any business, especially businesses that rely on large amounts of printing. Printing can get very expensive and in larger businesses especially, it is very important to have a budget and stick to it. Printer monitoring software can help to save your company a lot of money on your printing budget, sometimes reducing costs by as much as forty percent. Printer Activity Monitor is one such program that generates complete reports of the printer usage in your office. It will tell you how many documents have been printed on a specific printer over a certain time and it will also tell you exactly what was printed and by which employee or workstation. This means that network administrators will have a complete history of every print job in the business. The software also allows you to create a printing budget plan.
