This is more for @Tigerman who was looking for a app to keep track of print usage....

Print Logger
Click for downloads


About...
The free print logging program
PaperCut™ Print Logger is a free print logging application for Windows systems designed to provide real-time activity logs detailing all printer use. Information tracked includes:

  • the time of print,
  • the name of the user who printed,

  • other print job attributes such as paper size, color mode and more.
Print audit logs are available in a viewer friendly HTML format, or in CSV or Excel format for advanced users needing the data for further analysis.

Not personally tried it myself more a suggestion for anyone looking for simple usage tracking software.

The special approach of this programm is to edit the image (contrast, color,...) not "succeccive" but "simultaneous". So there is no need for a back button, all editing tools are active, each ruler can be switched on or off, until you save the image.
