Guest News Group Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Correct me if I'm in the wrong news group for my question. I'm looking for a way to log/track all AD users that send print jobs to our printer. Lately, users have been wasting a lot of paper and I want to see who is doing this. One of our printers is an HP 8100 shared out on a AD Windows 2003 SP2 box. Any thoughts our suggestions? Dan

Guest Alan Morris [MSFT] Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Re: Log AD users who send print jobs enable Informational events in Printers Folder / Server Properties / Advanced Event 10 is the successfully print event but if you have a lot of printing going on, the 3rd party tools will parse this data more efficiently. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
