Linux Print Monitoring for CUPS and Raw Print Queues
O&K Print Watch Linux provides detailed print monitoring for CUPS and raw print queues. It records key information about each print job, including user, printer, computer and number of printed pages. This allows administrators to see who printed a document, where it was printed and how printing resources are used inside the organization.
- Monitor CUPS print queues
- Monitor raw print queues
- Track printed pages by user, printer and computer
- View print history and detailed print job statistics
- Analyze printing activity across departments and offices
Print Accounting for Linux Organizations
The system helps companies, schools, universities, government offices and other organizations implement print accounting on Linux. You can measure printing volumes, identify heavy printer usage, monitor printer activity over time and build a reliable basis for print cost control.
With Linux print accounting, you can answer important questions quickly:
- How many pages did each user print?
- Which printers are used most often?
- Which computers send the largest number of print jobs?
- How much printing is done by a department or branch office?
Save Printed Documents as PDF Copies
An important feature of O&K Print Watch Linux is the ability to save copies of printed documents in PDF format. This makes it easier to review printed output, investigate incidents, keep internal records and maintain a searchable archive of printed documents.
Saving printed documents can be useful for:
- print audit and compliance tasks
- internal security and document control
- reviewing printed content later
- building an electronic archive of printed jobs
Web-Based Administration and Reporting
O&K Print Watch Linux includes a web interface for administration, monitoring and reporting. You can manage printing locally or remotely, view print statistics in a browser and access detailed information about printed documents without working directly on the print server.
- Browser-based print monitoring
- Remote administration
- Centralized statistics viewing
- Convenient access to print history
- Easy monitoring from any location
Database Support: SQLite and PostgreSQL
The software supports both SQLite and PostgreSQL for storing print statistics and user settings. This gives organizations flexibility: SQLite can be suitable for simpler deployments, while PostgreSQL is a strong choice for larger environments with higher reporting and integration needs.
The PostgreSQL database server can also be used simultaneously by the Linux and Windows versions of O&K Print Watch, which is especially useful for mixed infrastructures.
Consumables Monitoring for Network Printers
In addition to Linux print monitoring, O&K Print Watch helps track consumable levels for network printers and multifunction devices. You can monitor toner and other consumables, save replacement history and improve service planning for your printing infrastructure.
- Monitor printer consumable levels
- Track replacement history
- Support for many printer and MFP manufacturers
- Improve printer maintenance visibility
Centralized Print Monitoring for Branch Offices
