Print-Track Description

Print-Track is one of a suite of software products designed by Advanced Technologies Inc to control and account for copying and printing activity on standalone copiers, networked digital copier-printers, and printers. Print-Track is a revolutionary new printer control and accounting software product for Windows PCs. Print-Track comes in two versions: Print-Track Plus, and Print-Track Pro. Both versions of Print-Track work on a single PC, on a small workgroup network, or (preferably) on a domain. Print-Track comes with three standard components: Print-Track Server, Print-Track Client, and the common (networkable) database. A variation of Print-Track Client, Print-Track Release Stationcan be sub-licensed and used separately, or with a vending station for anonymous and / or secure vending of print jobs. Print-Track Server need not be mounted on a Win 2000 or 2003 server: it can be mounted on any Admin logged-on PC on the Windows network and it controls and accounts for any printer locally attached to the Print-Track Server PC, including IP printers. Additionally, Print-Track Plus controls and accounts for any printer locally attached to any client PC, including IP printers. Print-Track Client should be (but does not have to be) mounted on all network PCs that originate monitored print jobs, but it must be mounted on all network PCs that have locally monitored printers. In "print for pay" or other "secure release" scenarios, Print-Track Release Station should be installed on a designated PC other than the server PC. In workgroup networks, the "fast switching" feature of XP Pro can be used, but be aware that "fast switching" is not supported on a Windows domains. Note that monitoring of remote printers , is supportable only with Print-Track Pro. While Print-Track works on a small workgroup network, setting up a domain is highly recommended for networks larger than a few PCs, because a domain's Active Directory is well suited for logon authentication, PC netbios identification, and uniform printing security policies. While Print-Track is designed for Windows networks using Windows print drivers, it will properly control and account for (against Mac and Samba logon and Machine ID) any print jobs originating from Mac Panther or Tiger clients utilizing CUPS PostScript 3 print drivers. In such cases, the Mac clients are not bound to Active Directory but instead print via Samba using our Mac-Trackoption. Because Print-Track uses TCP/IP communication, it will work between Windows clients and print servers on a Novell network.
