log print jobs

Dear all,

I have a workgroup with a Windows 2000 computer designated for printing. Is
there a way to log print jobs, including which user printed, how many pages,
and when the print job was sent?

Thanks to all who reply.

Hi Richard,

I have both win 2000 sp4 and win xp, but I don't see the option to log print
jobs. I've looked at the Advanced tab under printer properties. I'm
probably not looking carefully enough. Would you please be able to provide
the details to enabling print job logging?

The details are in the KB article. You'll probably need to be logged in
with an account with administrative permissions. I checked the article's
instructions on both XP and 2K and have the correct settings available when
logged in as Administrator.

Thanks. I think I see it now. It's in "Keep printed documents", isn' it?

Ah - no. That will keep a copy of the document on the print server after
it's printed. Follow the "Windows NT 4.0" instructions exactly as they are
shown in the KB article. It does work.

Thanks Richard. I think I finally see it. I was being careless.

Glad you finally found what you needed.
