Network Printer for tracking Number of pages pronted by each user

prayag_pjs · 11-05-2009, 07:22 AM

Hi I have HP printer attached to my network independently with ip address

192.168.1.x

and on each client pc on windows and linux i have connected it as Network printer--->AppSocket/HP Jetdirect with port no 9100.

Now i want to track the number pages printed by each user.

i.e i want to know how many printouts were taken from 192.168.1.y ,192.168.1.z etc...

Is it possible to do that?

is it possible without CUPS Server?
