Monitor printer usage


Recommended Posts

Here's one for the IT guys:

I share a printer between 4 computers on a network and I want to monitor how many copies are printed from each of them.

It seemed to me like a rather simple and common thing to do, but I've spent the last hour googling for a free solution to the problem and apparently it doesn't exist. There are many enterprise solutions, but I won't pay 100$ to do such a simple task on my home network.

Have I overlooked something?

Windows 7 everywhere, and I can either set the printer individually on each computer, or install it on one computer and share it with the others. It's a wireless HP laser printer. I can get page count in the printer properties, but that's the total page count of the printer.
