Print Queue Manager 6 (Windows Vista/7/8)

 

Do you manage a computer lab? A library computer network?
University department?  Internet Cafe?

Do you want to cut down on uncollected print jobs and paper?

Is wasted paper and toner costing you money?

Save money and the environment by reducing paper and ink usage through better print management.

This brand new, easy to use, but powerful, application gives you complete control over a printer queue allowing you to pause, delete and resume all documents. It can save you paper and ink or toner by giving you control over your print flow and turning any windows desktop into a print management server. The application runs at the user level so it complies with your corporate security policy for managing printers and documents making it suitable for customer service location such as internet cafes and libraries.

The power behind Print Queue Manager is the AutoQueue function which will turn the selected printer into a controlled print server queue.  Jobs will be stored until they are manually released individually or in bulk.  You have complete control over jobs and printers and you can delete unwanted jobs.  The Cleanup feature allows you to set the program to print or delete all remaining jobs at a certain time of day or by size or age. New to version 6 is Payment functionality allowing you to calculate and record payments for print jobs.

Using a combination of .NET and API communication Print Queue Manager can help you control your print queue with job updates occurring live on the screen. All information is captured in a reportable Access database and standard reports are included.

No nag screens, advertisements or popups.

Version History

1.0.0 (2000) This was built from random pieces of source code online in late 2000 as a simple way of viewing print queues.

2.0.0 (2001) Volunteering in IT at the UNSW Union in 2001 a requirement came to control the print access for the computer labs. The result of this was the AutoQueue function.

2.7.0 (March 2006) This was my first public release of the software as a free download.

2.7.15 (July 2007) The interface is now scalable allowing you to expand the program up to full screen. The application will now remember all your settings on exit including the window size and the options you have selected and it will reconnect and reload these on next launch, including AutoQueue and Timed Release Settings on the correct printer queue. I have updated the interface and added a splash screen as loading saved settings can take longer as the application needs to connect to the correct server and queue, but it will save you time as the application loads ready to use. You can restore the original settings with a new option in the file menu. I have added status icons to the job queue and you can click on a column heading to sort jobs by that detail. You can also reorder the columns of the job queue grid.

2.7.20 (July 2007) With the new space on the full screen mode I have added some new features providing an improved update process and a new server shared folder and printer window that is a handy companion tool. You can now check whether a new update is available without having to launch the website. To make these new features useful I have also created two default views; compact and full. Compact retains the existing interface while Full gives you twice the room to show off the new features. Updates is now no longer in the menus.

2.7.22 (July 2007) This is mainly a bug fixed. I fixed a problem with printer properties defaulting to first in list every time and then discovered an issue with them not working on remote printers. This has now been corrected. Printer Properties will show for current active print queue.
