Editions and Modules

There are three editions which make up the Print Manager Plus product set. They each have very similar functionality but have been tailored to the specific needs of the organisations that use them:

Print Manager Plus Academic Edition
Print Manager Plus Standard Edition
Print Manager Plus Client Billing and Authentication
Optional modules

Print Manager Plus Standard Edition Academic
Complete Print Management Solution for your school, college or university

How many printers does your school own? How many students do you have and how many pages do they print each day? Do you have students using those expensive colour printers for everything they print? Try to add up the cost of paper, toner, ink cartridges, the maintenance, wear and tear on the equipment, and you begin to get the picture!

Schools and universities are faced with an equal or greater magnitude of expense. Despite the huge printing expense and its impact on budgets, most schools just view it as "a necessity" since it's impossible to control without the right information and tools.

There is an easy solution to these "hidden" printing expenses. They can be easily managed! Print Manager Plus allows you to quota and track student printing and printer usage for a complete print management solution. This system gives you control over these valuable resources, namely printers, paper and toner. No more wasted budget resulting from uncontrolled and irresponsible printing. You'll be amazed how much you can save by just tracking this outflow.

Optional modules for all editions
There are a number of modules that are available to be used in most of the editions detailed above. "Add Credits Option", "Authentication Module" (Client Billing Edition only), "End User Inquiry Tool", and "Remote Report Viewer" are all free to use. The following "Release Station" and "Workstation Connected Printer Agent" modules are extra cost items.

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 printers 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.
