FAQ
Why is PaperCut Print Logger free?
PaperCut Print Logger provides a way to get a "taste" of some of the benefits our other applications. Our main
development focus is our print management software applications like
PaperCut NG and
PaperCut MF. If you need more than just basic print auditing, please check
our other applications.
Can I install PaperCut Print Logger on my server and monitor all network printing?
If your server is set up to host print queues and workstations print to these shared queues, then installing
PaperCut Print Logger on the server will monitor all printing. Computers with individually attached desktop
printers will need Print Logger installed locally if monitoring these printers is desired. Consider PaperCut NG if
you require centralized logging from multiple systems.
Do you provide support for PaperCut Print Logger?
Because Print Logger is a free application, we're not able to provide official support. If however you have a quick
question, please feel free to contact support and our developers will do their best to help you out.
I have a virtual PDF printer or FAX printer installed. How do I stop PaperCut Print Logger from monitoring this
printer/device?
By default, Print Logger will ignore and not monitor printing on most popular virtual printers.
Printers can be ignored by defining the printer's name in the
IgnoredPrinters setting in the
configuration file located at:
C:\Program Files\PaperCut Print Logger\papercut-logger.conf
Remember to restart the PaperCut Print Logger Service in Control Panel -> Services to apply this change.
I notice you offer solutions for Apple Mac and Linux. Why is Print Logger only available for Windows?
We may look at developing a version for Mac or Linux in the future. We first need to gauge popularity. If you're
interested in a version for this platform, please email support and put your vote in!
Are you planning any new features?
The goal of Print Logger is to do one job (print logging) and do it well. We may make minor tweaks and will continue
to support new hardware. The main development goal is to provide a basic print audit log and we may add more features
around this soon. If you're looking for advanced print management features please take a look
at PaperCut NG.
Does Print Logger support Microsoft Cluster/Failover Server?
Not officially, but you may be able to set it up using a similar procedure to the
cluster setup notes for PaperCut NG. For official support in
a cluster environment, please consider our other applications.
Can I use the data for reporting?
The raw print log data recorded is available in a Microsoft Excel format. You may be able to use many
of the features of Excel or a similar program to summarize and construct reports. If you're after pre-built reporting
features, please consider PaperCut NG.
