Printer Accounting?

Nov 30, 2007  By Shawn Powers

Anyone successfully using a print server that supports print accounting? Preferably with user authentication or support of some kind?

Basically, my network has 500 or so computers, representing Linux, OSX, OS9, and Windows. I'm tired of not knowing where print jobs are coming from, especially when someone prints 8,000 copies of Pokemon codes.

I can't get PyKota to work for beans, so unless you have a magic key there -- I'm looking for something else.

We have pykota running. It handles all the various accounting models we require. The author is is very helpful, whenever we hit a problem.

Printingworks is another solution which I believe it uses pykota as the backend system. Support is readily available.

all the best.

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
