Printer Reports

Printer Reports is a small-sized and portable application you can use to analyze information and generate detailed reports on the activity of network printers. It features advanced filters and supports user management.

The interface isn't particularly appealing. It has an outdated look but a neatly structured layout displayed in the control panel. Separate tabs are available for the input and output files, reports, and users.

Files can be loaded from the disk with different text-based file types. Unfortunately, the tool's not explicit concerning the supported file formats but we've noticed that it works with tab-delimited TXT.

You can check out the date and time, type, description and other details about the printing or other events, generate reports for a particular group, user or date range, and make it short for Microsoft Excel compatibility.

It's also possible to create and manage a list with users and groups using their computer names, real names and phone numbers, as well as to view the report before printing or saving it to plain text document. Details include the total entries and printed items, size, and all printed pages.

The program is not wrapped in a setup kit. Instead, it's available through a single executable file, which can be dropped to a preferred location on the hard drive or transferred to a pen drive to directly run it on any PC. No new entries are added to the Windows registry, and no files are created by the app automatically.

It was fast in our testing and worked without freezing, crashing or indicating errors. The tool stayed stable throughout its runtime and had low impact on computer performance. Thanks to its approachable GUI, Printer Reports can be used with ease for analyzing and creating reports about printers.
