Page Countster

Page Countster is a tiny and portable piece of software that permits you to look for all printers in the local network, put together reports, and save them to file.

It doesn't include complicated options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the executable file anywhere on the disk and just click it to launch Page Countster. Otherwise, you can save it to a USB flash drive to be able to run it on any computer with minimum effort and no previous installers. Plus, it doesn't modify Windows registry settings.

The GUI is user-friendly, represented by a large window with a neatly organized structure, where you can get started by scanning s range of IP addresses and subnet mask for all available printers.

You can edit the current SNMP community name and make it default, and examine search results when it comes to the IP and MAC address, host and model name, serial number, along with the total and color page count for each entry.

What's more, Page Countster lets you add new scan targets to the list, remove duplicates, delete selected items, rescan all or just selected hosts, as well as create the report and save it to file as CSV or TSV (with or without quotes).

It's also possible to directly send the report via email, edit printer information (serial number, total and color page count, host name, display text), as well as to configure a wide range of advanced options, such as the ICMP and SNMP wait time, default network configuration, and email account settings. This configuration can be saved to an INI file.

We haven't encountered any stability issues in our tests, and Page Countster didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. It carried out IP scan operations swiftly and left a small footprint on system resources consumption, running on low CPU and RAM.

This utility offers an approachable and effective solution to locating printers within the local network and compiling reports.
