Info:
The elegant solution is not only for Windows 10 written to enable or disable print logging. You can easily use this example on other versions of Microsoft's Windows operating systems, whether it is a Windows desktop, tablet, Surface Pro / Go, or even a server operating system. The company currently spends several € 100 billion annually on printed forms. Each employee uses over 1,000 sheets of paper a year. For this reason, monitoring printer usage is very important to reduce the cost of printer supplies and their use. Another reason to know who and how corporate printers are used is to manage your resources and plan upgrades or downgrades of specific printers or print servers. If you’re after using the printer or similar terms, you'll find dozens of special printer monitoring software. These programs are usually installed on print servers and are usually not cheap. However, you can track printer usage without third-party software by analyzing Print Spooler's Windows events. Using the Event Log Explorer greatly improves this process.
