Print Manager Plus
Print Manager Plus audits, tracks, restricts, and secures printing infrastructure. Version 9.0 comes in Basic, Standard, and Premium editions, licensed per printer audited. Its audit records can include pages, color, copies, paper size, duplex status, document title, date and time, printer, and location. Administrators can set quotas and budgets, restrict printing, and create rules for users and printers. Security controls can hold, pause, or delete jobs from unrecognized users, require confirmation, and verify users before release. Authentication can use Workgroup, Active Directory, LDAP, or custom Print Manager Plus users. Premium adds client and project billing, a payment portal, printing cloud, and informational and configuration APIs. The portal integrates with PayPal Payments Pro, PayPal Payflow Pro, and the Authorize.Net payment API. A 30-day evaluation is available for all three editions. The Small Business Edition is $495, paid once, billed per Windows Server, with maintenance, updates, and phone support for one year; it is limited to 35 users and five printers per print server. Listed platforms include Windows Server and Workstation, web portal, iOS, Android, Chromebook, Surface, and Slate tablets.
