What it is
Print Manager Plus tracks, audits, restricts, and secures an organization’s printing infrastructure. Audit records can include page counts, color, copies, page size, duplex, document title, date, and time. Standard adds quotas, budgets, restrictions, rules, a release station, and event notifications. Premium adds Printing Cloud, a Payment Portal, Client and Project Billing, and informational and configuration APIs. Supported account types include Active Directory, LDAP, workgroup and local users, and custom users; administrators can hold or delete jobs from unrecognized users. The Payment Portal supports PayPal Payments Pro, PayPal Payflow Pro, and Authorize.Net. Version 9.0 is licensed per printer audited and relies on the standard Windows print subsystem. It installs on Windows 10/11 workstations and the listed Windows Server versions; jobs from other operating systems can be audited when routed through Windows print servers. Basic, Standard, and Premium editions each offer a fully functional 30-day evaluation. Listed one-time prices are per Windows Server license, from 495.00 USD for Enterprise Small Business Edition to 1,295.00 USD for Enterprise Edition (1–4).
